Thanks Bruce, I got it started today but found out the hard way always check your purchase properly before you buy and especially after the purchase afterglow burns bright! no brakes or clutch  thank god for retaining walls  The brake assembly is missing, the disk is still there and the clutch does not work,

Thanks Bruce, I was starting to think that I had aquired something so obscure the parts would have to be hand made.

gurstar, On the gearbox you should find an ID plate. If you supply the information on the plate I will be able to upload a parts list along with the operators manual. I have done some work on this type of gearbox before and some of the parts are hard to get as victa does not supply them any more.

thanks there bruce .that manual will be of assistance.
im changing all the belts at the moment they seem to be worn .the gears i mean are on the front and it has five different speeds but i can only seem to get it into one gear and drives really slow
the old belt are really worn and i think this might be one reason the mower moves to slow
cheers gurstar

gurstar, If you can get the information off the gearbox I can upload a parts list so that you can see what is required. I also sure that I have a workshop manual that I could upload for the gearbox.

Sorry for butting in on this, but I've just got my hands on a Victa ride on just like the one in the image that Bruce posted. It's a wee bit on the rusty side and needs plenty of TLC but my main question is, what vintage are these ride ons? Really good site here too Bruce.
