1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of the Victa 18ers plus twin cylinders.

i am looking to sell where would be a good place to sell these items..
we dont want ebay

I had to go and google "Victa" first, but now I see its a very vintage mower - cool looking!

Have you tried local antique / collectible shops? A lot in my area will carry your item for a commission, so you can set the price.

Perhaps there is a fancy local garden shop, or someone with an outdoor art garden in your area.

I hope you find somewhere! Good Luck!

this lawn mower come from the dump

hi
im getting a victa classic 30.
do you need to mix the engine oil with the patrol or is there to separate tanks?

is it a 2 cycle or 4 cycle? the lawnmowers made today are mainly a 4 cycle. 4 cycles do not require mixing oil and gas and run cleaners as a result

Price: $16.75

Where would i find the oil drain plug for an XRS Quantnum engine.

It is on the under side of the mower next to the shaft. undo the spark plug wire first. true the mower on it side undo to oil plug and set mower on a drain pan to drain the oil. after all the oil is out turn the mower back on it side and replace the plug and set mower back on the wheels. fill with oil and wait a little before starting, because some oil may have run in to the intake and you want it to drain back into the crankcase.

It's an old Victa ride on.. about 12 years old and steering is tedious and heavy.. how can i make it power steering?

try lifting weights. its you that is the problem and not your mower. they do not make a riding mower that is easy to turn.unless you get a zero turn type mower. spend the money or start working out.

Hi my lawn mower is about 5 years old. It is used every couple of months but has not been regularly serviced. I was using 20:1 fuel ratio and just found out it should be 25:1. How do I empty fuel properly and get excess oil out of system. Also want to change spark plug, air filter and give it a good clean. Any advice on how to and what products are best. (If any one wants to post a how to video on u tube that would be ultra helpful.) I was told I should change to a synthetic oil - what it a good but not too expensive brand? Also after clean should it be lubricated with something like WD40? Thanks for your help.

Spark plug is fouled by excess oil, Remove plug and clean with some petrol/Small brush. Then use light grade sandpaper and clean electrodes untill shiny, re insert plug.
Tip mower upside down and drain fuel into suitable container.
Refuel with correct mixture and start mower, may take a few go's and will probably smoke untill excess oil is burnt off. May need to re clean plug and continue.
After it is running OK take it to a mower shop for a full service, including new plug. Talk to servicemen about continuing maintenance
