Whoa mate! That's just a few classics huh. No need for arm day at the gym for you!

Hahaha yeah they give ya a working for sure.

Cool a victa guy :) funny how 1 isn't enough lol

Have you got the half crank or full crank engines? Both have there plusses.

People say they never start and all kinds of horrible things but to me they are dead reliable.

Easy to fix up n sell.... guy brings it out in spring pours nasty old gas in with nasty old plug no pop and then promptly floods it with the primer. In the scrap bin it goes and buys a junker China special.

Find said victa in scrap bin...

Just like a saw and away its running bit of a tidy up a new plug and sold to the man in blue for 80 or 100 :) :)

I mowed our lawn as a boy with an Iron Horse two stroke. Large section, couple of hours a mow. It must have been 70s or 80s, nothing my dad had was new. The vibes from that thing might be a whole lot to do with my finger sensitivity issues now i reckon.

the original iron horse was the same as an outboard motor ( Johnson I think?) , that’s why they have that odd exhaust set up.
There’s a copy of the Suzuki lawn mower engine called an iron horse too .
