OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Victa professional Deluxe

Here's another tipside find from today:




Engine seems really good, I predict a runner, it's in great shape overall, early 80's, Series 80 engine, alloy base, not a bad machine.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it, if anyone has a good claim, I may be swayed to swayed it.

I like it, never seen one of those out this way either, either any of them out here are still in use or noone has dumped them yet.

Would it interest you Joe, I'm sure we can find a suitable trade for it.

It would, sure we can find you something here..

I'll give it a good look over and see what she needs, I have another one here in very rough condition, if there's any parts missing to this one, I'll pull them off the other for you.

OK, so all in all pretty good.

The catch flap is missing it's latch bar, but the spare is good, and there is a small crack in the top of the arch, as well as the usual inner skirt damage.

Apart from that, all good, the catcher is great, and the chute is pretty good too!







This is the spare:

Ive never seen one like that.

I imagine it wouldnt not be terribly common in that spec, minus any sort of dress cowl.

I've seen a few around here, perhaps they were popular here!

They are really quite robust, and this one seems quite good too, though I don't see how a nicer cowl would have hurt!

Well, tomorrow afternoon we will find out if tis ol girl is up for its new job, perhaps its first start will be on youtube for everyone to see
