Here is a badly rusted out V40 that has been brush painted with Aldi metal care paint. I was surprised how good it looks despite penetrating rust holes. The front has the same damage on both sides. The sister unit with Briggs was painted with rattle can paint after having surface rust and scale removed with a wire wheel. He uses these mowers to mow lawns in the neighborhood.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
