G'day Norm,
Yup, that's an early 160cc full-crank Victa Tilt-a-Cut edger; the later models had the PowerTorque engine. Some good threads on these TaC units are over in the ODK 'Edgers' section, too.

They're a great edger, particularly when fitted with the 'segmented disc' cutting blade - which does a better job, as well as being much safer than the 'bar' type blade.

This one:

Well worth a little 'fettling'! I've actually been on the lookout for one of these [for cheap, of course] wink .

But it looks like I'll be going the 'edging by brushcutter' route, after yesterday's bargainza pickup at the local Tip Shop; I dropped in there just to see what mowers etc. they had.
We need an 'OPE Bargain Gloat' smiley for deals like this - a pair of Echo SRM200DB 22cc straight-shaft brushcutters, not missing any engine/frame parts, for $20 - the pair! One with a genuine Echo 250mm circular saw blade, the other with an incomplete nylon line cutter head. Both turn over easily, with good compression, too.

Cheers,
Gadge
