OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines COLDA: Old Mower with Hurricane & Victa Engines

UPDATE:-

It is with much pleasure that I can say we now have confirmation.
The mower with the mysterious decayed decal is indeed a Colda.

Member Paul_C notified me today that he acquired what is believed to
be a first model (alloy base) machine - and it retains its beautiful
Colda Badge.




This is a better example of '1' originally shown in this topic:-


This is a highly significant find.
The machine has its original Victa engine (unbranded) and painted
quite badly. It is only missing the small flywheel cover. The
wheels appear to be all original and in great condition!

It has some unique crankcase numbers:-


I would like to thank Paul, again, for his astute collector's eye.
This is an important early rotary mower that provides good evidence
that Victa were supplying engines to other manufacturers right from
the early days.
