Driving to the shops last night I saw some hard rubbish in a side street so I thought i'll go past for a closer look for any mower bits.
Anyway I noticed a black plastic catcher on the side of the pile so I thought bugger it i'll get out and grab it as it looks complete. It was dark and I couldn't really see it properly at night I didn't even think it was for a Victa.
Anyway when I got it home last night I checked it out with a torch and I was glad it's a Victa catcher, but what suprised me the most is that it looks like it's never been used!
I was looking for the usual scratches, cracks and missing peices etc along the front lip, there is nothing at all! Even inside the steel mesh looks mint.
Have you guys ever come across an old catcher in this condition before? Every catcher I have ever found has been broken and cracked along the front lip. I have 3 broken ones. This would have to be the best most perfect catcher I have ever found!
Remember I was telling you guys how I never used to grab catchers because I thought they wouldn't suit my mower. Well now I grab anything at all. This was a really good trash find and i'm happy with this catcher! It just shows you it pays to grab anything you see as you never know what you might find.
I've added some photo's of the catcher below. Check out how perfect the front lip is on this catcher. I can't believe it. It also looks like these catchers had a manufacture date stamped on the plastic, going by the stamp i'm assuming this catcher was made during the 10th month of 1987. So it was made in October 1987.
Cheers!
Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
