No time like now to start a new project. It's going t be green. I have soaked the base in molasses solution for 3 weeks just to loosen bolts. Waterblasted it I took it apart and back in bath.
The tank had a crack in the corner, so I used the soldering iron to weld it together , worked. cheers speedy

Just getting the motor ready 160cc full crank. Took the coil from another motor with broken top half of body. But it is meant for module. I found a module I had but it is burnt..... I don't know if it was faulty and burned or it was a petrol fire and burned the wire..... I will have to fix and test. I suppose I can't put points on this mower as it hasn't got holes to attach the points.. speedy.

I put it together and tested , no spark, guess the module is dead. pretty simple wiring, guess they are in right position. Not long to go if you want to get something done this year.................... speedy

Got it together. I was building two motors with the parts I had, but still missing pull starter parts a coil two modules, and carb parts. But I was lucky and got given a 160cc Monaro, with a great motor...... It's amazing the faults you find when you take everything apart.......... Anyway all fixed and can't wait for the grass to grow........... cheers speedy

As a teenager, working after school, I recall that the 'utes' were still being made. The 'red' Victa ute and the 'blue' Rover ute were priced about the same - under $100 dollars.
These were great lawnmowers and remnants of the old school. I guess safety pushed them out of the market. The skirt was way-too-thin ... and alluring.
Thanks for the great images. --------------------------------------------- Jack
