OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Wanted ARCHIVE: Victa VC Mustang Wanted

Ok would most likely be an overnight stay,but accommodation is very very easy for me to arrange.Don't worry about cost,it would only be meals we need to worry about.

Sounds easy enough, when is costal hard rubbish?

I believe it is early August.I will have to get the dates which won't be hard.When I have them I will let you know.

Ok Ty,it depends on what part of the eurobodalla shire we want to go to.As the first pick-ups from council start on 18 July from Tilba to the Narooma bridge.Then north Narooma 25 July.Then scatted dates through August and the last date is 5 September from Surfside (North Batemans Bay) to south Durras.So there is a wide range of dates and if it requires more than one trip then so be it.As I said accommodation is not an issue.Let me know what you want to do.As I not fussy as to when I can go.

Well, seems to me the Weekend of the 16th & 17th would be a good one, start at Tilba, and work our way up to the Bridge.

I Will have to check the dates with Elysia tonight, but I cant see it being too much of an issue.

Maybe if you could get out my way friday Arvo, that will put us at a better starting point for saturday, and you can have a look at the collection, then in the morn we get on the way to Tilba, and work our way back up, finising on sunday,

If we fill up before we finnish, i would say keep going, as we may spot something better and want to swap it over.

The only issue i can think of is if we find any mowers we are both 'heart set' on, but maybe a coin toss would be the solution in this case? (Or trade-off "ok, you take that VC-Auto, I'll take this VC MKI")

Ok then sounds good to me.We can work on that as a starting point.Maybe doing the Friday would be better that way wouldn't have to travel Saturday morning,and I'm sure if we find something we both want I'm sure we will find some kind of agreement that will benefit the both of us.After all it promises to be a fun weekend without the wife woo hoo.Don't tell her I said that.

No worries, I'll confirm with Elysia and we can go from there. I'm happy to help with the driving if need be, so friday 15 sounds good.

Anyone have any "if you see X and dont want it yourself..." requests?

i have a vc mustang ,its green and i have spent a weekend fixing (i have had a second one which you can have for parts but i basically gutted the 2 and made 1 decent one and the second one is basically for spare parts). The mower has the correct catcher n everything and the mower is the remote primer version, runs well, let me know if your interested (small crack in cowl and small crack in catcher but its easily fixed with araldite).

think i have placed a new set of blades on as well.

Have you any pictures of it?That way I can get a better idea of what is left?

Hey Guys re the mower road trip....That's the weekend of the Wagga and Liverpool swap meets so can't make it for that one. Will keep in touch for future trips though esp, the BBay area sounds like a good spot (that's 29 August).

I'm keen on any wind up start Victas or any flat top high arch Victa Commandos with the power torque engine.

Jeffery, the one Jonno is describing would have a G4 Carby, Facing Backwards with the hose out the same side as the old G3 types.

I would suggest considering it, its part of the family, and the remote primer ones are beccoming uncommon in good nick.

I'm just waiting for he's reply.Just want to know how much he wants and some photos

If he send you the photo's, pop them up!

Don't worry I will.Still only new to these types of mowers.I only sort of know what I want.

This is the second phase for this mower, it's sort of in-between state.

Its not a bad peice to get now for your collection, especially if you are trying to re-create the VC-Mustang family.

It will leave you with only 2 others to consider to get all 4, and the 4th is common, so this takes out one of the trickier ones.

if you guys are keen on making a trip out this way sometime I have a white top full crank mustang, a high arch victa vortex powertoque (missing handle and carby and possibly several others .

Sounds very Interesting Joe, Whens hard rubbish out your way, and is there anything you are currently looking out for that wee could keep in mind?

Also, I sent you a PM about that talon Coil.

We dont get hard rubbish here Wouldnt say no to a couple of newer non running mowers, I want some of my old goldies to go to a home where they will be brought back to life... There are a few I want to keep but I will compile a list of whats possibly available later.

Ill reply to that PM in a sec, didnt really notice the flashing icon there (2 kids, 2 jobs and busy time of year for me does that

Sounds fair to me, I actually have one here that you can have if you like, its A steel base victa craftsman, Powertorque, dead, but in ok shape, i would say 1995 - 1999 maybe.

I'll get a pic up tonight, if you want it, let me know and I'll keep it aside for you.

hi bumbly, i think the photo is up already??? its in my post, let me know if you need more! im not looking to become a millionaire from the mower, if you want you can have that mower and the second that has been gutted (also a vc, base is cracked, motor is ok i think, handles, no catcher though) for 50 bux.
