The engine looks noticeably more modern than the rest of the machine.
That disc the engine is joined to, is it a centrifugal clutch or some sort of oil filled flywheel acting like a torque converter in an auto transmission?
What does that black gearstick like knob do?
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
