picked up this mower off craigslist for 30.00 not running but does run on a prime the carb is gummed up it's going to need a complete fuel system serviced anyway and some pieces replaced can't seem to find much info on it. it is a cast aluminum deck with side discharge only and is extremely heavy as found out from loading the mower in my car :laughing:. it has a large gastank that is mounted separate from the engine.
it should be a nice mower when fixed i will post pictures in a few hrs.

Kind of old school but those things are known to run forever. Good find.

With an aluminum deck and 2-cycle engine, it's actually (or should be) pretty light.

I have a similar model. Parts can be found but not easily and they are somewhat expensive. Yours is the professional model with a big fuel tank and probably has a blade clutch as well.

These engines are known for developing a 'Suzuki' knock. Yours may or may not do this. If it does, it will sound like a horrible rod knock and that it's going to fly apart at any moment...but it won't. Mine's been knocking for at least ten years, maybe more. Nobody seems to know for sure what causes it.

That's as good of a guess as I've gotten so far.

Seriously, I wish I knew what causes that knock. I'd be glad to share it.

Have you mowed with it for 10 to 15 minutes? That's when the knock shows up in mine.

That gas tank looks like it's a gas-hog, OR ... it'll run for a month before re-fueling .. :laughing:..:laughing:

It is a commercial mower, designed to run all day without refuling every 15 minutes.
Back in the day Victa did a line of commercial walk behinds , all with 1 imp gallon tanks.
I get about 4 hours mowing from my 24" rough cut with a gallon ( 1.15 gal to you lot ) of blue smoke.
