Converse, I will give you a bit of advice, stay away from the Briggs stuff unless you find one in the sort of condition that Sparker did. Just stick with your Victas unless you find a body in excellent condition with a blown Briggs on it then you can fit a PT on it and dump the Briggs motor. Do not go down the path of fixing Briggs ones
G'day NormK I was only looking at it to see if I could salvage anything from the steel base for my Victa 2 stroke mowers. But seen as the base was pretty rusted out I just left it on the scrap pile.
Yes the only way I would grab a 4 stroke mower is if I found something in similar condition to the one Sparker found. But I don't think I will find something in that good condition around here...lol
Cheers!
