OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Victa Mayfair Deluxe

Hi all, just thought i'd post my latest $10 tip find. The blade carrier had broken off and hence why i believe the previous owner threw it out. I replace the blade carrier, put fuel in it, primed it up and started on 3rd pull. Mowed my lawn with it and works a treat, didn't even need to touch the carby.
Some before and after pics for your viewing pleasure

Came up lovely, like new. Must have been an excellent protective layer of grime :-). The decals look great.

Yes Paul, it was a good protective layer of dust. It's already found a new home. Viva la Mayfair

Awesome Mod BigT

You certainly know how to detail a lawnmower!
The last two photos are fantastic at depicting the before / after,
and what a 'sensitive' restoration means.

p.s. the top photo seems to show your shadow, and you're cocking-a-snoot
at the defenseless little Victa. Not your usual gesture ... Doctor ...

That looks great! I'm still working on my first mower. I took all the rust off my muffler (and a few other things) and then sprayed it with high temp clear paint.

Wonderful
Definitely brought it back to life that's for sure.

I was so consumed with jealousy when I first saw this. That was when I got my decrepit 125cc version. But after filling in the myriad of cracks and worn away alloy on the left (which afflicts most of these bases) and finally painting it with fresh gold hammertone, it truly feels rewarding and better than obtaining a good one.
