In this video I find a VICTA 2 Stroke Power Stroke lawnmower discarded and left to rot in some scrub bushland near my house. I am mystified as to why such a good mower has just been thrown away to go to rot and take it home to see if I can get it run! Question is, will it start and if not can I get it to run?

I can't believe what people dispose of. I have found so many abandoned VICTA mowers and brought them back to life and are now part of my collection. That is a very rare mower. Hang onto it. VICTA is the BEST.

That’s the thing, victa’s will run forever. I picked up a few not that long back that I found on rubbish heaps and all either were already working or just needed a part or two replaced and off they went.

My late dad bought one of these mowers new in 1984. Although, his was the self propelled version. Good memories of us cutting the grass together. Thanks for the memories! New Sub!

Wow!! What a score. I would love one of these! This dates from 1982 -83 and is the last of the full crank 160 engines before they switched to the Powertorque engine like your red mower and features electronic ignition like the PT. Beautiful looking machine. Don't sell it unless you have no room. You will find the catcher off your red mower will go on this fine but not the other way! Thanks for doing this video. Well done on both counts.

Hi James, thankyou for your comments! You have confirmed my thoughts that is a full crank engine. To be honest the frame is not in the best condition, however I have been thinking that this engine being a "full crank engine" would be a very good donor for a Victa Go-Kart project!! What do you think? Cheers Drew

@@DrewFixIt I think personally that would be a shame. What's wrong with the base? You saved a classic. The base looked in good condition for it's age to me, no cracks, holes or scraping on the left side. I've seen some shockers in my time. If you really want the engine out of it I'd love the rest of it. The Powerplus engine has a high compression head as well as a freer flowing muffler, giving more HP. PS, does the fron't axle move up and down at all or is it firm?
