Greetings all,
As Jack says, that model number [MQ331A0] isn't on the domestic Victa 'quick reference' parts list for the 1970-1991 period.
I'd say it's a real Victa model number, though - it has the format used at that time [early '80's].

The closest models in that parts list, would be the MK326A0 and -A1 Mayfair Utility models from 1980-81 and '82-83 respectively.

These both had the 160cc full-crank 2-stroke engine. As it happens, I have an MK326A1 on hand as a project mower, and the handle and deck look basically identical to this one.

So the theory that it's an export model is looking quite good...


Cheers,
Gadge
