Picked this up from a US Fish and Wildlife Officer. He bought it from the Feds after they cut down one big tree. The saw looks great. It was built in Stuttgart W. Germany in 1976. It starts right up but will not stay running so I do have some work to do. He said he replaced the fuel lines...

I was wondering if JB Weld would be the most cost effective fix to some cracks in the deck. I believe this deck is too far gone for any real restoration. I was just going to degrease and grabber green the deck to make it look better.

I have a model 5236. Can I use a D Engine CARBURETOR #681071 & AIR FILTER Assembly on that model. It calls for a #681072 carburetor on the Lawn-Boy parts store. These carbs look identical. Is there a difference? Is it doable.

Found a good source for Rust-Oleum Grabber Green. DrillSpotdotcom. $4.95 & free shipping. I am looking for a good source for carb rebuild parts. Can anybody steer me in the right direction?

I am going to look at and pick up what I am guessing what may be a 52xx. Guy wants a cold 18 pack of Natural Ice for it. Here are the cruddy pics. He claims it starts but is "Real old". I am guessing that this has a "D" engine.

I am going to look at this. Guy wants 80 bills. Ran well last year (I know, the check is in the mail...) but if it is not a major mechanical problem I am thinking this could be a good deal. Any thoughts.

I talked about this mower a little bit in the intro thread. I picked this 21" self propelled (which doesn't work) one for free on Saturday afternoon. People wanted $30 for it on Craigs. I was happy to give it just to get my foot in the door with something that already starts and I could tinker...
