I am fairly sure it is original but the cap on the air cleaner is missing. I have been doing a bit of reading and i think it may be a V174. I plan to get it running properly once I get a few other projects finished.

Is there any interest on this forum for some reproduction brass nuts for the Victa model 1 carby? I found a machinist in Sydney that can make them for about $60 a piece. Picture of the sample he made me using the original as a reference. Picture attached below. We have interest for 40 units so far through facebook but if quantity increases cost per unit will come down also.

Victa 18 mower with melted base and carby
because the cowl and recoil starter were still good.

Yes that pawl holder still looks usable Blue and QSR has shown what they look like when worn out and the pawl
can drop out.

This is the first time I've tried these eBay pawls and QSR is right they are a little loose fitting compared with the
original solid ones that is in his second pic.

The eBay one is flat metal that is rolled for the round pivot ,I was thinking of hitting a small screw driver into
the round part to expand it a little for a better fit.

Cheers
Max.

That's lucky you found one ,I see lots of cheap Ogden mowers but hardly ever see a catcher ,I just had a quick look and
can see a catcher in Victoria for $25. but the brackets make it look more like a Pope catcher.


Cheers

There are a few ways to make caps ,3D printing will be the easiest if you have someone to make them.

I think if I was only using the caps to hold the circlips on I'd just buy the circlips that won't fall off.

Cheers
