OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Welcome to Outdoorking Forum HELP Area Introductions Hello from Perth Western Australia

Hello,

Nearly 4 years ago whilst chasing parts for a BSA WM20 that I have had to let go due to a change in jobs and less free cash I came across a Victa Sheerline mower that looked sad and lonely in the back of a shed that wanted rescuing and I couldn't resist it.
It then sat under my house for 4 years until a couple of weekends ago when I noticed my youngest son watching Youtube videos of people restoring car engines and I asked him if he would like to restore something and to my surprise he said yes.
So over the last couple of weekends we have spent a bit of time stripping down the Sheerline.
This is what it looked like when I got it, pretty much complete minus the catcher and in reasonable condition.

I'm expecting I will be asking many questions soon.
Tony

Hmm photo didn't display, will try again.

Nope not working, I have noticed that I don't have the option to turn on UBBCode, which might be the reason

Hi TMuir, and welcome to the forum.
It's good to have another enthusiast onboard for what is potentially a relatively cheap, yet satisfying hobby.
As always we'd love to see and follow your progress as you go along.
See you on the forum.

Cheers, Ted

Hi Tony, Looks to be in very good condition and has all the needed bits to do a good restoration and would most likely run with a little work, these motors are so tough

Thanks for the welcome, don't think I will make much progress this weekend as I've been tasked with repainting one of our bedrooms this weekend, so far the biggest issue I've found is it is missing one of the front axle clips, but I'm sure I will sort something out, that and the airfilter need replacing and I believe these are not easy to find now so might need to fit the newer airfilter. I will try and find time this weekend to start a thread and put up the photos I've already taken.

Hi Tmuir,
welcome to the forums.
That looks to be a good find. I hope you one day get a catcher somehow.
That fuel tank is very logically placed for maximum gravity assist!

I have one of those tanks here that I have had for 40 years, couldn't remember what it came off
