Victa Classic Cut VCS467 Questions & Answers

I have a 500m2 grass and that is usually just under one tank full of fuel. I use the cheap stuff from the fuel station. If you only have a small yard and it would be sitting in the mower tank or petrol can. I would suggest going with 95 petrol. It has a much longer shelf life when sitting for long periods of time. For me the cheap stuff works because I use it straight away. I mow my yard one to two times a week. Love the mower and it never fails me.

Well the motor is a Briggs and Stratton. American build I believe. I could be wrong. They boast how good they are so I doubt they would have moved the manufacturing to China. The rest of the mower such as body I haven't a clue where it's built. It's strong enough for a nasty backyard and I haven't had a drama with it since buying it.

For the 4-stroke Briggs and Stratton, it needs an SAE30 Oil, such as Valvoline Power Armour 4-Stroke, available at Bunnings.

Hi Rob, what did you use

HMS466 is your model number for the Victa Hurricane with the 600-series Briggs & Stratton 4-stroke engine. HMS462 is the Victa Hurricane with the 2-stroke engine, and the HMS464 is the Victa Hurricane with 400- or 500-Series B&S Engine

Can't answer this defintively, but I would guess no.
I've suggested these are very cheaply built mowers and not designed to last beyond warranty - the base on the one I used was thin pressed steel with light powdercoat.
If you take it to a mower servicer they may be able to help, but I'm bettting they say, "yeah they're cheap mowers designed as landfill.. we can help you out with a new mower".
If it were mine, I'd just fabricate a fix or worst case get a busted mower and substitute the base.

I agree to substitute the base with a busted mower - people occasionally sell the bases/chassis on ebay:

Do I assume that the sticker is incorrect?

Thank you.

Standard unleaded 91, with no oil added to the fuel

Gradually poor in the oil until the oil sits at the markings on the dip-stick. Run the engine for a while and then check the marking again, add more if needed.

I would guess it's less than about 300ml per fill - specs may answer this accurately (assuming Victa publishes them)

It is a solid cast base

Its a B&S motor bolted onto a piece of pressed steel. So.. neither

It's a pull cord one and is very easy to pull the cord. We love ours.

Look for a 4 stroke mower oil i actually bought some same place i got the mower

SE30 at normal temperatures

I have had mine over 4.5 years starts EVERY time with half a pull

I took my blades off stuck them in the vice and re sharpened with a grinder

what petrol do you use in victa classic cut mower & oil

Takes about 1.5 litre once you have taken the fuel cap off you can see exactly how much you have

Victa Blue 330

Masport, victa plus is nothing but problems an mines new!

Any recommendations for a lawnmower? As brand? Model? I am not planning on spending over AUD500. Just same range as the Victa Classic Cut or Masport 470 2n1.
