Is there any new Raptor owners here? Looking at a 52" with the 23hp Kaw. I mow 4 yards as of now, just a side job, and thought about upgrading mowers. I think the Raptor is the best buy in its category. 1K less than the ex mark quest, and a bigger deck.

Looking at getting an early 80's Murray 36. Interested in just the tractor, without the mower deck. Found one for $20 w/o an engine. From what I've read, these were equipped with a 11hp Briggs. I have a 5hp lawn boy 2-cycle engine I would like to mount on the mower. I believe it would work just...

Interested in purchasing a bagger rod at a decent price.

681071: Fits D-4" " series. Comes with a nos reed plate and mounting screws. $65 shipped. 679710: Fits D-6" " series. $50 shipped Located in Central Ky if prefer pickup.

Picked up this nice little 19" mower today. It's in really good shape for a '73 model. Took about 30min to drain the old stale gas, and clean the carb before she was running like a top. I'm impressed with these little machines each time I get one running again. And I have a guard dog in case...

While at a Home Depot today I noticed they carry replacement self propel rear wheels. They are Toro brand, but have the same metal gear pressed in as the Lawn Boy models I posted. So if anyone needs an inexpensive replacement and doesn't mind a different appearance these would work. I believe...

Just grabbed this trusty, rusty Scamp for $5. I have plans for the engine. The rest is scrap iron lol.

I picked up another mower today. Late 70's R8237 self propelled F-engine. My work schedule lately doesn't allow much time to work on any mowers, but this one doesn't appear to need much. Thought I'd share a pic or two.

I own nothing but lawn boys, but looking to add a snapper to the line up. Found an older, self propelled one with the Robin engine. Guy told me it was a 4 cycle. I hoped it was the 2. I've read good reviews of these mowers. I like the looks of the self propel system. It's looks heavy duty. Do...

Here's my newest mower. Just picked it up today. It's I very good shape. With some minor work, it should make a really nice mower. Don't see too many of this style so I had to have it.

Does anyone own one of these smaller zero-turn mowers. Are they reliable, and worth the price? I haven't look at any yet at a dealer so I have no idea what they cost.

Can the same needle bearing that's used in the armature plate, also replace the bronze bushing in the lower end? Can these bearings, and seals be matched up at a local auto parts store vs. buying an over priced LB part? I realize the rod bearings, and rings will need to be specific. Just...

Haven't been on here for awhile, so I thought I'd share my latest project. It's a 75-76 model 7264 with the D 600 engine. It's in very good shape, and clean for the age. The engine seems to have decent compression, and the coil checked good. I haven't done anything to it yet, but hopefully after...

Well, I decided to take apart, and paint my old Lawnboy sidewalk edger. For a rattle-can job it turned out pretty good. I have some before pics in another post. Here's a few after shots.

Came across this neat 1958 Lawn Boy documentary video, and thought I'd share with all the LB fans here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdjyBuxNkkA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
