Silliest one i have seen in a while

This gumtree ad advertises its a honda (possibly right as 909 sold one with a GCV OHC honda on it), but they have clearly stuck a B&S classic 35 sticker on the cowl and a Concept (Tecumseh from memory) Victa sticker all on a 16 inch 909/Gardenline deck.

Why would someone go to the effort of sticking the wrong stickers on?

I'd love to throw it off a cliff!


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

Now if you type victa into gumtree (and forget to put in state), one of Norms great Victa 2 strokes is directly above the bitsa imposter 'Victa'.

Same price as well - I sure as hell know which one I would buy

Hi Tyler ,
Yes Tyler that is a very good mower but I doubt I will get that sort of money for it, but at this time of the year I don't care if it sells or not, just means I have a mower sitting on Gumtree if somebody is looking around. I have a number of others ready that I don't bother listing at this time of the year because I know in the first 2 weeks of Spring everything I have built over winter will be gone
