An old Victa utility bought at a garage sale for $10 will it run?
The guy I got it off says his dad rebuilt it over 20 years ago, it had a little use and got put away, going by the age of the guy that sold it to me I don’t think it would have been possible to ask his dad about it.
Enjoy anyways peps!

The old girl ran well once you got it running,and it handled that long grass nicely, and she would appreciate a new set of blades 😉 👍

These old 2 stroke victas make a way more pleasant sound than the new 4 stroke mowers. Even sounds quieter

As an American, I've always wondered why Austrailian lawn mowers have pivoting blades mounted on a center wheel as opposed to the flat iron, bar-shaped blade like mowers here have. I wonder what the performance difference is between the two designs. I'll be honest that tiny little two stroke mower performed better in that tall grass then my modern Lawn Boy mower did in the same type of grass. I'd love to see a competition between one of these old Victas and an old 2 stroke Lawn Boy. The old ones with the offset front wheel.

Nice to see you mate, it's been a while. That utility certainly got a good wake up after being sat idle for so many years, it did the job very well considering...

Every single one of those two stroke mowers should be saved. The 4 stroke ones usually lack the torque for the thick australian grass which is very annoying. Some wer good though, like the Kirby Tecumsehs or the 1980s Briggs on the Rover mowers, but other than that it´s victa two strokes all the way!

How is possible that it's ripping through tall wet grass so easily. Did you sharpen the blades prior?

I’m not sure that I have a spare that is “known good” but I’d be trying points and or condenser before replacing the coil… you can also convert them to use a power torque ignition module.
