Hi
ir_baboon_73, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's always nice to welcome a new Victa Tilt-A- Cut owner to
ODK.
As a TAC owner myself, I can understand your predicament with the "tilt plate" at the left-hand rear of your machine...
As far as I know, this plate is
not available as a spare part any longer for this particular model...but, as an exercise, if Mr McKay, who has vast experience with Victa TAC's, could help out here, I will remove mine...take some pics of it, with dimensions, and post here....mine is an earlier machine, Mr McKay can tell us whether they changed during the production run....or remained the same.
Can you release the handle from the welds?....Don't worry about the plate...can we save the handle?
Once again,
to
ODK.
