I needed a lawnmower after my lawn mower man went AWOL. I bought an old victa 2 stroke for $20 and it worked great for 20 minutes and then it stopped. Now I have another for spare parts.
Now I got the bug which leads me here.
I cant wait to start reading all the old posts for more info

Beware, they will multiply!!

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Tommorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That is why it is called the present.

Hello all Contributors,

A warm welcome from me too.
That's an interesting analogy that Hermosil makes...
