Hello All,
Have just re-registered - quicker perhaps that trying to remember which one of 20 passwords I may have used last time I was visiting here.
Have had the good fortune to have been offered 2 Victa 5/26 ride on mowers for $100.00. One has no motor but is otherwise complete. The one with a motor - 8hp B & S (does that make it an 8/26??) - runs well - just fired it up this evening for the first time - but the cutter bar seems to be constantly engaged. I have had a look through the forum pages and it appears it may be that a wrong belt has been fitted?
I have a Tecumseh 8hp engine that I hope will fit into the other frame (I have the main drive pulley), and if it does, will do a proper restoration job on the mower.
About to become a contributor so I can access parts list and manual.
Must say it is nive to be back here - such a helpful site.
