This is a running 1963 lawnboy auto mower a gentalman had in a box in his attic. This may well be my favorite lawnboy, or maybe they are all my favorite...can never make up my mind lol. It is the machine I plan on restoring next. Already have new wheels and decals ready and waiting.

That's quite a find -- congratulations.

I like the strange shade of green they used back then. :confused2:

Did you find it on CraigsList?

I found the Iron Horse on craigslist...the 63 automower came from an other Iron horse owner that I helped a bit. He told me when he got it down from the attic I had first dibs....I said sold sight unseen. I was not dissapointed.
