Hi Guys,

I need help to identify this old Victa Rotomo lawnmower of it's history, year, model, engine (2-Stroke?), Oil/Fuel Ratio, carburetor type, etc. I just bought this through Facebook for $15. I think, this would be a great project for restoration for my YouTube channel "Varietech". I appreciate for any inputs. See attached photos. Thanks.

Regards,
TheCarbyMaster

Hi Carbymaster,

Pretty good buying there, Model 5 Series 3 with correct serial number on the engine.

Hi paul_c,

Thanks for the info. Yes it is a good buy and also the 1971 Utility 125cc. I believe that all or most parts are still original and has not been replaced since including the pull start handle which still has machined wood. I'm wondering which one is the original handle, the wood or the plastic. Maybe it's good to produce more of this wood handle while we still have the original reference. The spark plug and carburetor seems still original. Good to know that you can confirm the engine serial number which is correct for this model. The label still visible printed with "VICTA MOWERS MILPERA SYDNEY NSW" which still visible on it's age under extreme weather condition and still have the original paint. Indeed it's a great buy.

Cheers,
CM
