OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Welcome to Outdoorking Forum HELP Area Introductions noob here

hi all, dave from SA here.
I found an old victa 18 automatic and have joined to get some info, help and tips for the old girl before restoring her.

I will post up some pics and start a thread somewhere here when I suss it out.

Before I do that, can someone help me with the location of engine number and any other numbers I need to find to properly date and identify my 18.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,and Welcome :)Get some pics up and we can tell you exactly what it is:) For quick reference your engine no is located on the carby side on the upper half of the engine crankcase.
Also a single number digit(usually) on the lower half.This will determine at least what model the engine came of and if its original to your mower.There are no other numbers to Identify a victa 18,only the mower style/appearance.
But Images and the number together will make it much easier.

Yes I agree pictures would be great makes it easily to Id it. After all we cant tell what it is, you may have a rare one,then we see it and say no. After all a picture can tell a thousand story's. Thats not the writing saying but you know what I mean.
