Hello slashnburn

Welcome to these forums.
I guess you have been busy reading all the back catalogue on Victa.

The History Forum has just added some Service Guides generously supplied

I am interested in your comment that dad gave you "an unexplainable interest in mowers"
That seems to be a common theme with collectors - the childhood experiences.

On a personal side, I'm interested in the Simplicity Tractors you have.
These were top-line American lawn tractors that sold quite well here.
Is there any reason why 'Simplicity'?

A good place to start each visit is 'Active Topics'.

All the best.
