OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds My Hard Rubbish Part 6

Hi alwil, on a fantastic restoration. mate!!
PS., can you please check you PM's ...in "messages" in "My Stuff" in the top toolbar. Thanks mate.

Bob, I beleive that was an optional gaurd for rocky areas, or to simply make dispersal even, like the toe-cutters.

A bit like an early mulching concept, I beleve some customers were happier with the even-dispersal of the toe cutters, and so Victa released this for them, to give them the option to 'Go Back'

Rodeobob .....Dunno !!!! came with the mower , suppose it would be dangerous without it, I
made up a shute for my "BITSA "

Zip start sticker home made , side cowling stickers and baseplate stickers original ,removed and replaced with care , Utility sticker bought .

What are you doing to make your own stickers Alwil? are they weatherproof?

Actually they are printed on photo paper and laminated , stuck on with very thin double sided tape , wouldn't leave them out in the weather for too long , most of my mowers are not used , only started up every now and then .I do use a couple of 80's utilities and my BITSA regularly ,the bitsa has a four blade baseplate which gives it enough thrust out of the shute to get a jumbo jet off the ground .(nearly)

Would you be able to show us a few close up photo's of the stickers, I would like to see how this has come out.

Also, your comments on the bitsa have left me with a rather funny mental image, a bit like Mary Poppins but with a mower!

OK Ty what on earth are you doing out there in the sticks. Especially with Mary Poppins.Wow this got of topic be time.Let me bring it back from the [Censored] of death.Heading off very soon to go and do some picking in the hard rubbish.Should hopefully find more goodies.Will start part 7 when I have got some photos for you all.OH yeah would like some more info on the stickers though.Maybe it needs to go under a different topic.

Hence why I am imagining a person with a flying mower!

Alwil, the sticker quest has been something on a few minds here for some time, many of the machines we are restoring need new stickers, so we would love to see some close ups of your work.

We have a few people here trying out different things, I have heard of a laser printer sticker set, and since i have a laser printer, i will be testing it out soon, if it works, I will get a colour laser printer!

Hopefully your work can provide us with some hints with how to do this!

Yes it would be good to find some way of doing it.

Ive been experimenting with stickers. I will start a new topic.

That's a great idea.After all this topic isn't the newest one now.

Also, Jeffery, what are your plans for the red utility, If you are going to restore this one, perhaps you could start a thread in the right place, to let us follow the restoration?

Well I will but I think it will be a while before I start on it.

No worries, I'll get you the parts I have for you, for when you do.

Did you find anything for it yet?

Red 'Utility' cowl with tank and cap, plus a few misc engine parts if needed, such as deco valve.

Thanks your a good man...on a stick
