All those side pull full cranks take the standard catcher, it is those high arch thumblatchers that drive me crazy. It is very obvious why Victa stopped making them, must have been costing them a packet to get made compared to the later one
Victa also had side pull models on thumb latch bases. I have three at the moment. One self propelled with no catcher, and two regular push models with catchers that have patched up cracks.
EDIT: I may have misread what you meant. You said those side pull Victas as in referring specifically to the steel deck versions!
