OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Welcome to Outdoorking Forum HELP Area Introductions How rude of me.

How rude of me.I have been on here for over a month and I still haven't introduced myself.I live on the north side of Canberra.Have been collecting mowers for about 5 years now.However my fist 6 to 8 mowers where stolen,by somebody who was suppose to be my friend.So I had to start my collection again.I guess the only sad part was one of the mowers was grandfathers handed to my father and then to me.So sad.Now I would have somewhere between 25 to 30 mowers.All are Victa's,most of them are Victa 18's.I have a Model 1 Rotomo,Model 2,2A,3,4 & model 4 Automatic (not complete) many Model 5's.Model 509 Utility,Twin Cylinder (Goliath), VC-160's Mark I and Mark II,and a few others.As well as some spares for parts.Getting fairly knowledgeable on the older one's.Would love to find a Billycart and a Mark I and Mark II fan mowers.Big wish and big dollars.I've added some photos not of all would take up whole web site if I showed them all.Enjoy.



VC-160 Mark I & II.These are how I found them,not like this now.Nearly restored.

Blumbly, there is supposed to be a limit of 10 photos per post, and you had attached 19 to your previous post in this thread. That is why some of them did not appear. Please stick to the limit of 10 - if necessary just close your post after attaching 10, then start another post immediately to attach the rest. This helps keep the process fair - some members may be using dial-up connections, so the download size of each post needs to be kept within reason.

Arh OK I thought that may have been the problem.Thanks now I know that 10 is the limit.Thanks.

That is a nice collectiom you have there, I have a similar cortina but it has a air box with choke attached to the front of the engine made out of metal.

Do you have the brass but carby on the model one? mine is missingon mine is going to cost a fortune when I do find one, they are rather rare.

I don't have it on it,but after it is restored it will have it on.Yes they are very hard to find.Also they don't run to well with them on.I'm going to have a spare Rotomo carby so when I want to run the Model 1 it will run better.

Have you got a picture of that Cortina with air box on front.I'd like to see that.

That would be good to see, I can also get some pictures up of the front Filter on my corvette, if you like

Ok that would be good to

Hi Fellas, Sorry to be a pain, but we've gone off topic, this topic area is for introductions.
I will now close this thread.
