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

I picked up this little $10 gem today. It's a 1972 model with the D-433 engine. It's not in the best of shape, but is complete, down to the matching green wheels. Looks like I've got another project on my hands :)

I browse eBay pretty regular, and it amazes me how much some sellers ask for parts for these old Lawnboys. I've bought, and sold on eBay, but I try to price items to where the average person, like me, with a hobby of working on these things can afford. You have to be very careful when looking...

I picked up a '83 7270 with the blade clutch, a F engine for parts, and a complete bricktop engine recently. The 7270 was missing several parts, and controls for the clutch mechanism. I swapped engine plates/muffler with the parts engine, and converted it to a standard mower. The crankshaft on...

Rebuilt carb,fuel shut-off valve, new air filter, and plug. She runs like a champ. On the down side, the fuel tank has a leak. I'll find a replacement, and then she'll be ready for a new home.

Anyone using the amsoil saber synthetic 2 cycle mix in their lawn equipment? I use Lawn Boy mowers(32:1) and Sthil trimmer / blower(50:1). This product can be mixed 100:1, although I wouldn't personally run my equipment that lean. I have read that it does really well at 50:1 in Lawn Boys. I've...

I sold my Duraforce 10323 today. Got some cash and this great shape 1994 10301 V engine Silver Series in on trade. The guy wanted a more powerful engine. I'll go through this mower and give it a tune-up before putting it on the market. Just thought I'd share.

Started working on my 1974 8232 today. The carb was full of old 'gunk' so I gave it a good cleaning and blowing out. The reeds were really clean, as was the crankcase behind the reed plate. I cleaned the tank and fuel line out. Got it all back together and after a few pulls the old 2 stroke spit...

Picked up these old Lawn Boys today. One is a 1974 model 8232 D series engine, and the other is a 1979 model 8238AE F series. Both are self propelled. The 8238AE has the electric start option but is missing the battery and starter motor :(. I have another 8232, but this ones in much better...

I have a 6.5 HP Duraforce powered mower that I have been going thru and tuning up. I've taken apart the carb and cleaned it, and changed the spark plug. After buying it ($20) I brought it home and started it, but it had a substantial sputter, and spit old gas out of the above deck muffler...

I've listed a really nice mower on eBay. I hate to part with it, but it's not getting used and I'm trying to thin the herd some. Sorry, but shipping these things is s task, and expensive so it's for local pick-up only. More pics are posted with the listing.

Working on the little 19" zpn for someone. The Duraforce and Gold Series I grabbed for $20 a piece. Think I got a good deal on them.

Thought I'd share a couple pics of my S92. Not sure of the year but this thing is built like a tank. 11 HP Briggs, 38" cut. I also have a bagger for it, but never use it.

Found a B 210 for $100. Drawbacks are: no deck, seat, or rear fenders. Everything else appears to be there. Ran as of 4 yrs ago. Good buy, or no? Thanks.

These were made in '67-'69. D460 2 cycle engines. Stole this gem for $40. Welded the handle back, new plug, blade, and cleaned carb/tank. She's ready to go and does a great job. Thought I'd share.

Anyone here have any luck restoring and re selling antique reel mowers? I'd like to give it a try on one or two, only if there's any $ to be made though.

I got this early to mid '80s S92 rear engine mower with a 38" deck. Gave $200 plus the cost of a battery, and a carb re-build kit. I also have the bagger and owners manual that came with it. Had been in the same family since new. Hopefully it was a good investment.

One for sale locally. AMF made a lot of things, but didn't know they did mowers. Any one have any dealing or remembrance of them?

Anyone else here that has the Big Green Egg smoker/grill? If you don't know about them I urge you to look them up online. I absolutely love mine. If there's any fellow "EGG-HEADS" on here that want to swap stories/recipes please respond. Everyone have a safe and happy 4th!

Picked up a '96 model 10546 today. F series engine, 3 speed trans, and electric start. This was the caddy of Lawn Boys. Runs great, and can't wait to try it out. Just thought I'd share some pics with my fellow LB fans.

Picked up this really nice '78 model this week. Just thought I'd share a couple pics. The 'ol Boy purrs :) everyone have a good weekend. nothing like the smell of 2-stroke smoke and fresh cut grass roasting on the muffler!

Here's what I scored today. Been wanting an old brick top. It's in dire need of some tlc, but with some blood (green that is) sweat and determination (not tears) I plan to breath new life into it. If anyone out there is needing parts, I have several nos items listed on eBay right now. Seller ...

Thinking about adding an older Toro 2 stroke Suzuki to my fleet of Lawn Boys. I do not know anything about these so can anyone tell me if they were built as good as the LB's back in the day? Thanks. nothing like the smell of 2-stroke smoke and fresh cut grass roasting on the muffler!

Heres a few pics I took today after mowing with the old boys. These old machines make mowing fun. Especially when everyone else on the street uses modern, 4 cycle "throw away" mowers. Different is good :) nothing like the smell of 2-stroke smoke and fresh cut grass roasting on the muffler!

In the past I've used the old ashless Lawn Boy oil, but ACE didn't have any when I needed to pick some up the other day. The mower I'm using is a '76 model and seems to run fine on the LB Gen 2 oil/gas mix @ 32/1. Just curious if it'd perform any better on the old oil. Thanks.

Were they as good as the mowers? Would like to find one to add to the collection but don't see much out there about them. Sent from my iPhone using LMF

Here are a few pics of my Lawn Boys

Lawn Boy fan new to the forum. I have 3 old 2 stroke boys. One is a '76 model 5244 19" cut. Another '76 model 7226 21" cut with the side bagger. And I have a '87 model 8243 21" self-propelled. I've had the 5244 a few years and completely took apart, cleaned, and re-painted back in the...
