Hi Everbody

I have my Fathers old Victa 18 SERIES 5 i think which i plan to give a birth day to.

Recently picked up a Victa 18 special in very good condition which plan to clean up as well.Also picked up a spare base, motor,Front& Back Axle Assembly for the special as well.

I have a Homelite Straight Shaft ST385 Whipper snipper which is approx 19 yrs old still going strong.Had to replace the spark plug 1 so far.Also just recently replaced the air filter as it had started to crumble.Also a Briggs & Stratton Quantum 50 on Masport chassis Still going strong after 19 years.
It's still on it's original spark plug but third air filter and change the engine oil very summer.Just recently purchased a spare started cord as the original 1 is just starting to frey.

Shift fitter for a job but i love to tinker with old 2 stroke mowers.Look forward to spending more time on this Forum.
Cheers
Vic 18

Hi Vic 18, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's great to have you on board. grin

As this area is for introductions only, as global moderator, I have moved the subsequent posts to the correct area for you and re-titled the thread "My Victa 18 Restoration Project". Your posts are now in "Forums � Restoring and Customising � Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers � My Victa 18 Restoration Project."
By moving the posts to the correct area, the forum archives are kept tidy and easy to find for new members who are eager to start a restoration of their own. wink
Once again Vic 18, :welcome: to OutdoorKing.
