I found an alloy base Powertorque mower other day, and had to remove a wheel to work on the axle and discovered it had these four pins holding the back cover on. Has anybody seen this before?

MF, never seen anything like that before, certainly look like a Victa wheel.

Seen nuts and bolts holding one together - this is an elegant solution!

It looks like an aftermarket product made to repair these, but why haven't I seen them before?
The orange Victa wheel cover fits on.

I have a Victa 24 with front wheels that look a bit similar to the inside of yours MF, if I get a chance I will pull one off and look.

Hi MF, I checked this Victa 24 here and it has the same inner black plastic protector fitted to both wheels so somewhere along the line these may have been an aftermarket repair item.

Interesting NormK. They certainly don't look home made or fabricated in an engineering shop. They are clearly manufactured to fit on these wheels.
It'll be fun and games removing them for reuse.

Hello gents,
i've come across a few of those wheels, they are a standard Victa wheel that have been re-enforced. They are common on a few of the utilities, predominantly the Pro 460 and i've also seen a few on some early alloy base victa's and on a couple of "Silver Streaks".
Hope this helps solve the mystery a little for you.
Cheers, Ted

These a big improvement on the standard Victa inner wheel ring that is very prone to failure when hit by stones being thrown out. Only good thing is you can replace the inner ring if you can find one unbroken on another wheel. Left front is the one that suffers the most damage usually
