I found a mower that had obviously sat outside for a long time because, when I popped the starter top off, it revealed a sordid grey soup of water and oil filling the crankcase. Yuck!!
The blades moved freely with my hands though.
Could it possibly be saved? I have so far scavenged it's decompression valve to get another motor going (after blowing water out if it!!).
Would you save it or have I made the wise and obvious choice to view it strictly as a parts bin to harvest useful bits before unceremoniously discarding the husk?


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
