Help with identification PLEASE.

Year, model or any other information
thanks Phil

G'day Phil,
That Victa is either a Model 8 Standard, 1960-61 vintage; or a 1962-63 Model 12 Utility.

Hello Gadge
Thank you for the information.
I am another new member just starting off.

I have attached another one I need help with, has a falcon sticker on the front but I can't find any information on a Victa Falcon.
Regards
PHIL

G'day Phil,
The 1962-3 Model 502 Envoy looks about the closest match to this one. That model had a Zenith carby, so a pic of the carby is needed to confirm that.

The Envoy just had a '4 Stroke' decal across the front of the tank, but it's quite on the cards that your machine is a 'storebrand' variant.

Hello again Gadge
Thanks for that information,unfortunetley no carby came with it.
I suppose that is the reason why it was nearly free,another thing on the list too look out for.
Might pick up one some time in the future.
PHIL.

Hi Phil

I have a feeling that the cowling may actually be off a Supa-Swift Falcon. I say this because i seem to remember the four stroke Victa's of that vintage having the fuel cap directly behind the wind up handle, not off to the left like the Supa-Swift models.

Please bear in mind I don't have significant knowledge of these mowers - so I will probably stand to be corrected

G'day Seafordphil and all
Mate, could we have one mower per ID request topic.
Simply start a new topic for another mower.

It is such a big issue - keeping topics on topic for folks
to search down the track.

Thanks

p.s. We need another image of the second mower's sticker
on the front of the crankcase. That should help solve that,
but in another topic thanks.
