Hi Alan, Nice to hear that the half twin 85cc is going well. I would love to add that to my collection for sure! As for my mowers, I am fortunate to have plenty of undercover space that is fast running out. I really have to concentrate on rationalisation. I want to have a core collection of around five in the long run, but I keep finding ones I like and want to get going. I recently found a powertorque from the late 80s, just like a neighbour used to have and I admired. I replaced the muffler, fitted a spare blade holder, sharpened the blades up and made up some metal shims to stop movement in the front axle bushings and now I have a fantastic workhorse I enjoy using. I so wish I had a big lawn again!! I hope someone else can help you with your 60s self propelled classic. Does it have a catcher? It would sure look nice with some re-chroming work on the engine cover. The base looks in really good shape.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
