Interesting, in the advert it states that there are 3 bearings supporting the crankshaft. I think Victa also stated this in their advertising which of course is correct. A bit misleading to the purchasing public as the Trojan motor has only 2 bearings supporting its crankshaft, I suspect that if there is a third bearing/bush perhaps it is in the clutch assembly. Unless the shaft with the 3 bearings is not the crank but the shaft travelling from the clutch to the blades ?

The crankshaft would only accomodate the clutch assembly, there must be another shaft supporting the spring and blade holder, doomed ! Probably why there are none around now, small fuel tank as well. Just not up to the job, I wonder what other mower you could buy for the same money ?

I was looking at the cowl this morning and there is not enough of the decal and the paint is rubbish so it will get a fresh coat of yellow paint. I will make up a new bracket to take a Victa fuel tank.
