[QUOTE=LG17;6206978]I don't have a Victa.
My old man had a couple of them.
Ge had the very first toe cutter but didn't lose any toes.
He did slice through some fingers one day when he dropped his hand too close after doing something.
I remember riding on the tram with him, fingers wrapped in a hanky, going to Princess Alexandra Hospital for stitches.
Brings back memories; I was about 14, spending school holidays on relatives property (Wandoan QLD). mainly for tractor driving. However was mowing the side yard with similar old Victa, pulled it back over my foot. Fortunately wearing sand shoes, all I got was badly bruised toes.
Was probably at that time, wondered why mower suddenly started to vibrate badly and was hard to push. I stopped the engine and discovered that a blade had broken off and went into one of the back wheels preventing it from turning.
