Hi all. Got given  this Victa   "Statesman' from  a neighbours "junk' pile. Saw it was old & Side Valve . I like anything S/V  ( got a 1942 Harley WLA )                                                                                                                                                Am told it's like over 40 years old . So decided to clean it up,  and just for the heck of it , try & get it running . I did.                                                                                                                                                                                                           I am no expert ,   but have never seen a throttle set up COVER  , Breather ,  set up like this  on a Victa or any other Mower for that matter ! It does say 'NEW GENERATION MOWERS" . Also I cannot even find a photo on WWW                                                                                             I may well be missing something  , but would appreciate any info. or intel.   on what this   is specs etc HP ?  and where it fits into the Victa scheme of things . Gotta luv the STEEL Dip stick!
