Victa 8/26e info!!!!

[Chad_]

Hi guy's,

Just aquired a Victa 8/26e ride on lawn mower for free (minus the engine) and need a workshop manual so I can start restoring it. It is in great shape for its age, has been sitting in the corner of a workshop for the last 10 years and has only recently had the engine pulled because someone else wanted it. I saved it from the crusher and hopefuly I can come across a suitable motor to power the old girl.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated,

Hey mate I can send you a copy of a manual for $20 au if you want to just let me know your email address and I'll send you the acc no and when it's in there I'll send you a copy it does have the electrical diagram as well as part numbers

How'd you go with getting the manual? Did you get it through this bloke? If that was a successful transaction I'd also love a copy of the manual as I've recently purchased a tidy 8/26e myself. Cheers.

FWIW.
8 hp side valve engine, electric start , 26" cut .
You can fit almost any Briggs SV in there but not an OHV single, unless you mount it sideways.
I dropped an opposed twin Briggs in there for a customer ( he provided the engine ) a while back but had to cut the hood side panels a bit.

The ones I fixed had Peerless boxes & trannies and you can get service information on them from here http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/
The parts book is on the Outdoorking King forum https://www.outdoorking.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/6950/victa-ride-on-parts-list.html#Post6950
But you will have to subscribe to the list to download it ( $ 5 ), worth doing & Bruce is really good, he has a shop at Concord with lots of NOS parts that are not listed on the web page.
