Hey Polybus,
A warm welcome to ODK.
3 nice little mowers you have there and they will restore up nicely.
Engine nos will prove important if wwe are to identify accurately. But briefly,all 3 are model 5s and probaly range from late 58 to 60.
Unfortunatley NO victa of this period was blue,so it been painted by the previous owner.
The mowers are at a quick glance as follows
1, Model 5 Series 3...From what can be seen, it Appears mostly correct.
2, Model 5 Series 2..."Same as the first one" and the earliest of the 3 and if the serial is correct,probably slightly the more desirable,but thats a matter of opinion. Id like too see a little more of this one when you have time
3, Model 5 Series 3..." Same as the first one"
All 3 are one above basic model in that they have recoil starters.
Again the engine nos and full images of both sides will determine Accuracy.
A few minor corrections and they will restore up nicely. Feel free to ask any questions as we have many early Victa specialists here that are willing to lend a hand. Also the Victa Forum has very concise and accurate info in regards to restoration.
Warnings No,
Abuse Hmmmmm maybee...lols
Comments, youll get plenty!
Good luck and enjoy your new acquisitions
