OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines VICTA Utility: Any ideas on this one?

.

This may be coming into my care with a bit of luck.
I cannot find a pic of it.
Any ideas about what motor would be on it.

Cheers
Sean

maybe this ? or close to it . wrong wheels too i think . same handles as this one ???




engine on it is 1973 mk 3 160 . depends on what your gunna do almost any engine will fit it

Yes could also be a 125 as well.

I really dont know what to do with it, just want to get it going. full crank maybe. dont really want it. is it worth anything?

they are a great little ute from the 70's , tough as nails, and as has already been said ,will take any full crank motor, perfect if you have something with a busted chassis, but still only worth the price of a s/h ute.

Does anyone want it if i get it i dont want it cant paint it she said NO??

pitty the old lady that got it for me thinks cause it has original paint it is worth a fortune. dont know what to say to her

Just tell her they are very common,which they were just cause it has original paint doesn't make it worth more.It's a mower not a car.

Tell her you can't accept such a rare gift, and give it back to her....

I'd pay one dollar for it maybe go as high as two if it had it's original wheels which it doesn't...

Or it could be worth-

so the bidding starts at $2.00 any raise one 2 brrffvos 2.50 from the man in the back buarr

I'll give you a can of coke & a kit kat.

Bugger what a shame you outbid me Blumbly it's all yours now! haha

Yes well it's got to be worth that much.

I told her i could not accept such a rare gift as advised, well today she brought it to bingo with her and gave it to me with great pomp and ceremony in front of everyone. How do i get myself in situations like this?
Can of coke and a kitkat sounds good is that with postage?
Sean

I guess you mean playing bingo ...

Bingo is great, they have a bar. aircon. the only place my missus is happy with me kissing other women and you come home smelling of roses, well lavender.
i found this interesting though.

That would keep some legs together

Sean, that's up there with the best of Sean of the Lawn quotes.

So ... I guess that's not a walking frame then?
I think Victa started using these locking bars in about 1969 (on Utes).
It would be an interesting question as to what AUS maker first used them.
Member Blumbly might know that.

This was a great, quick - and simple - mechanism.
You would not see this on entry-level machines nowadays.
Just cheap plastic knobs.

Get a handle on it.

That's it YEP that's it I'm going to the Club not to play Bingo...OH NOOOOO.I'm going to go so I can kiss other women.OH I wonder if you gave them lunch could you go that extra step and still be allowed.Hmmm I wonder.
Oh yes mowers we were talking about mowers,sorry I lost my thought of train.Wow I'm still mixed up.
The first Victa to use the type of handle locking system was in fact the 1968-69 New Utility model 550.Before that they had the fold down handles as well as the double bar setup.
Hmm women.
Anyway I think there were similar handles off other mowers but I'm not sure they were the same.The same idea anyway.
Sorry I'm off to the club.
