OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum Show and Tell Victa Imperial

Hi All.

First time posting here so hopefully this all works as intended.

I have purchased a Victa Imperial Cylinder Mower which I have attached. I was looking to do some work on the old girl to keep a piece of history running and am after some advice.
Are their any parts available for these anymore? I have been told that it has leaky valves and not worth spending the money on...

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hello Dopo
A warm welcome to ODK from me.

This is a very early 1970s Imperial.
Note that it has the single point height adjuster and
new style centrifugal clutch, but before the 2-stroke Imperials.

I guess a lot will go to personal attachment to this mower.
They were certainly well-built with a long heritage.

Many wearing parts will still be available.
I think it goes to tenacity and research.

I guess you have read the History Record: -

Please keep us informed.

Cheers

Hi Jack

Thank you for that, It would be nice to keep it original.

Yes that forum post was what I found doing a classic google search, I think the parts side of thing may be difficult. However like you said it seems well build and would probably last another 50yrs..

Thanks, hopefully more people on here have some additional insight.

Hey Dopo,
I’m a new owner of a Victa Imperial HK25K.
Just spent yesterday cleaning it up and servicing it. It hadn’t been turned over for 10-15 years.
Once I’d finished, she cranked over beautifully and ran like a dream. Like you said there’s no reason it couldn’t keep going for another 50 years.
I’d love to do some more restoration work on it and was wondering how you went looking for parts? Have you had any luck?
I’m brand new to this forum and this mower, be really keen to find out more about it and possibly getting it looking and running like new.
Anyway, thanks for reading and hopefully you or someone on here can help. Cheers,
Steve.
