After shopping went down to the mower shop and got a ‘odd’ wheel for $20 – yay.

Mower repairs–part 5
With the main repairs done gave the mower a good test run yesterday afternoon.
Nature strip, front yard, back yard – everything in sight that was green.
Importantly hot starts are good.
This morning we are having a look at the damaged wheel.

VICTA 4 Stroke 19″ STATESMAN 550 mulching mower – Start-up video clip.
The repairs went well with a satisfying DIY outcome and the parts cost $29 – happy with that.

Purchased in 2008 for $399 and has the larger Briggs & Stratton 5.5HP 4 Stroke Engine. Still a couple of things on the list, damaged wheel and that dodgy recoil starter.
Mower repairs–part 3
Have to clean all that out plus wash parts with petrol which means I have to go get more stuff so wait till later when the rain eases off – down tools again.
As posted the old bulb is really soft when compared to the new one.
Mower repairs–part 2
Went down to the mower place to get the parts and when I got back, we had to quickly get the chooks sorted out before the rain came down – what a change. Went out to continue mower repairs but gave up for now with everything pulled back into the carport – away from the rain.
This cost $29 bucks – Crikey.
Mower repairs–part 1
Victa Briggs & Stratton mulching mower will not start (bugger)
Since the last time I serviced the mower a few years ago it’s been running well and now suddenly with no warnings – will not start ???
There are a couple of things creeping in lately, harder to prime and the recoil starter is dodgy – slack cord.
Removed the cover, the end of the throttle cable needs to be unhooked from the throttle arm.
