Decided to pull apart the Victa 2 stroke tonight.Wow I don't think I have ever pulled apart a mower so rusty before.Take a look.

That's a lot of oxidation going on there.Would you believe it the engine seem OK.It tries to turn over the only reason it doesn't is there is so much flaky rust on the flywheel that the magnet has collected that it can't turn over all the way.I pulled the starter of and there is still oil in there.So I'm going to save the engine,as it is the Australian made power torque.

The bolts holding the engine on,only two I could undo.The other two the heads fell apart,I had to chisel through the rust to get the engine off.
