G'day Mowerfreak and Tyler,
Cheers guys yes it's awesome and so weird at the same time! It's a great clean mower that Silver Streak. I don't think it will be an everyday use and abuse mower though, it's in too good condition for that. Also as we know if I hit a rock or something it will most likely punch a crack or hole in that alloy deck. I'll leave the use and abuse mowing to the good old steel deck full crank Commando's or the powertorque steel deck mowers...lol
Ok I found another mower today, this time it wasn't a hard rubbish find but a scrap yard find. I saw a Victa Commando full crank dumped there and as soon as I saw the old style wheels on the side like my original one has I grabbed it straight away. I paid $20 for it, it's probably a bit much but as you know this one is a true identical twin to my original one. It has the same early deck with no hole or bump like the later ones. It's also got a very clean deck with no major rust outs. I am now thinking that these early steel decks were a better quality steel than the later one's. The front wheels are pointing slightly outwards though and it really needs a front wheel alignment! LOL!
I think I now have 4 Victa full crank Commando's here including my original one! I have 2 early one's and 2 later one's! LOL!
I hope I don't see any more FC Commando's around here as I really am running out of space to store them now! haha!
