OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers tonight's pickup

took some starting , great spark i think they mixed n matched carby parts ? slide dont seem to go all the way down so i'll sort that tomorrow when its lighter !




engine no' best i can see is BB3081 and a 5 on the lower . realy only got it for the aircleaner . but it does run well but only almost full noise !!

Cool you got it well done.Engine number doesn't sound like the original engine.It sounds more like a Model 5 engine.If you do decide to scrap it I'll put my hand up for the toe ring.I don't have nearly anywhere near enough.Don't know why but I just can't get my hands on them.

i dont think anyone can get thier hands on them though ? hmmmmmmm i wondered what the letters were too , never seen them before yet ! dunno if i will scrao it yet , hahaha its cute !

Which letters are you wondering about? Also what is cute?

Yay!!! you got her.What a little beastie.you gonna scrap it?.Awwww.
Jumps on Blumbly's head* Im closer gimmeee the toe ring Lols.
Yeah as Blumbly says the engine is definately a model 5 and by the number id say almost the last ever made.When the sequence run ended they went to letter prefixes with four digit numbers.a,aa,aaa,aaaa,ab,ac,ae and so on,But ive never seen a BB either,so its either really late or an industrial fitment.Anyways its a little beastie regardless,if you dont scrap her,see what correct bits come along in your travels and see how it goes.And remember this is the little mower who gave first life to your Sheerline,by donating her Lung....haha.

I don't think either of us will get that toe ring. [Censored] I need to get some.

mower's cute . sooooooo ugly its cute ! the toering isnt that good but it can be made better , its fitted backwards if its the same as the ute' i havnt cleaned it so i can see if 'front' is stamped on it . i dont know what im doing with it though , might put a 160 off something on it n see how it goes

It maybe a model 5 base ring as they don't fit rotomos correctly. Don't ask why I can't figure it out. They look the same but they just don't fit properly.

the ring is realy bruised and batterd but might be savable , but the base is another story ! cracked at the rear handle mounts at the base , tried to straighten out the front as it hit a lot of things in its life and it cracked too . so old and soooo thin now almost nothing left . so its been played with !

i think you can see the front damage ? just havto find a starter for it n off it goes for a while till i can repair it or find another

What on earth have you done there? You've killed a model 3.

Oh The Horror!.Tears of unfathomable sadness stream down my face*Im totally bereft of word at the blatent destructuion and vile defacement of one of australias most famous Icons!Sacrilage....PMSL.Most Roto Bases Are Cracked at the axle mounts Vc.This is when the Tig and leadwiping come in handy.Incidently Ive never thrown out a Roto Base.But You may be forgiven this once...Only because you have yet to complete your SHED....ha ha ha....A new model for the frankenstein thread??? Good work VC,I shudder to think of what your sheerline will look like when you get it...Hot pink and wreathed in flames???? ..Naaa Im just stiring,hope you had fun with your little Beasite

i was just bored and sitting looking at it looks a little better now though . same engine just looking for a handle mount jobby tank , might look ok then hahaha . but serious tho , it is paper thin in a lot of places , only realy good for display with a LOT of work , but gave me 2 wheels for another and some sort of carb' rubber mounted thing i never seen before ?
like an insulator ? carb' mounts to it and it mounts to the inlet! and 2 holes in the top of carb' both threaded , one blocked off

its not dead yet mate , just wiating ! i did have some green but i thought blue ? its still a late victa colour and as you can tell it isnt permanant

Well I hope it gets an engine close to what it should have had, as that is scarey and might give me nightmares.

sleep well , its only a test thing ! i did score a few today though one of them might have a close number , all 18's i'll show ya soon dont worry guys its only for a look

Well thank goodness for that. I was starting to get tried and want to go to bed. I should be able to sleep a bit better now. If I not ill just have to thing about early mowers vc's and twins. That should get me through this.
