Yes Please!!! Lets start again. While Ive been restoring and researching mowers for over 20 years,I still dont have anywhere near all the information on Victa.
Most of the information over this time has been gathered by Example,original records/manuals,clues and some detective work and luck more so than heresay. This Model 4 Automatic still holds a few unknowns. Ive been told so much information over the years by many so called experts that seem to know everything,but yet why do we still not know certain aspects of this Model?
Granted we know a lot and most of It is now common knowledge,But we as a forum need to find the interested members and owners and set up a thread with Model number and Images,so we can decipher the run as well as any other information missing. No point just going off serial numbers without images. A pictorial register will be easy enough with each interested member posting an image of his machine and brief history (if known)
Also any one who wishes to add friends or family owned mowers or Ebay examples would also be helpful,also any Ephemera or techincal info relating to the Automatic,sales brochures,maunuals,op instructions etc.
Now,we know when they started,lets find out when they finished. 110,000- 118,000....The model 3 started at around the 128,000 mark,and the model 4 special had already started, so I think we would be looking for numbers up to this mark of 128,000.
Lets see how many examples we can get and how high we can get the number too!!!. So we can come to OUR own Conclusions on accuracy once and for all!.
