Neither serial or model numbers are readable. I have tried every trick I know but still can not read them. I know this to be either a 915-02 or -3 because -01 does not have that type arm.

This was...

Hi, I have a 915-02 or -03 Lawn Keeper I am restoring. The forward-reverse lever has a boot that is shot. My problem is it is not called out in any parts manual. I realize this is not going to be in...

I will soak it, thanks.

Thank you both.
I had found those part numbers as well as 632230 & 632272. All looked similar, thus my confusion. I should have added that to my initial post, sorry.
I found rebuild kits that are...

I have a Tecumseh V60 70093G from a '57 Bolens riding mower that I bought recently. The carburetor is filled with lacquer - even the butterfly valves are seized. I haven't disassembled it it yet but...

Hi HoosierSam, I picked up the 915. I believe it's a 915-01 but can't tell for sure. The model & serial # lettering on the decal is extremely light (faded). I plan to take the seat support off in...

Thanks Jeff!

I've heard that too. The more I read about Jacobsen the more impressed I become; This Jacobsen was one of the reel mowers I've wanted for a while.

Thanks Romore & Russ,
I just got home (it's after dark) so it'll be tomorrow before I get out to take more pictures. I'll pull the air cleaner off to get more pics of the carb and I hope to pull the...

Sorry, I don't know how to rotate the 2 middle pics. I will be gone tomorrow to pick up a Bolens articulated mower but I'll take more pics of the engine itself when I get...

Thank you Rivets!
I already have the first one you listed for the mower itself; It's a little different model but the information is still useful. The drawings make disassembly and reassembly easier...

Hi, I have a Jacobsen 21" Lawn Queen Reel mower. The mower plate says # 220-62208. I can not find any numbers on the engine itself. Can anyone tell me how/where to look for possible numbers?
Thanks!...

Thanks Scrubcadet! I'm always open to suggestions for tools as well as techniques. 50+ years ago I thought I knew everything (in my defense I was a teenager then). Now I know nothing, and with senior...

I am looking at the Tekton 1/2" drive. The 3/8" drive with the Linux question is an EPAuto... ...

Oh no! another one on Amazon...
I was looking at a 3/8" drive torque wrench. One of the questions there: "Can you put Linux on it?" (for anyone not familiar with Linux, it is an operating system -...

Maybe doing pot is improving their intelligence...

Scary, huh?
Hope they aren't the ones dispensing our meds when we have to move into a nursing home.

Hi I'm Bob. I have a 1950 Jacobsen 20" Lawn Queen. Don't know too much about her yet; she has spark & compression so I'm hoping it shouldn't be too hard to get her going. I have a couple Lawn Boys so...

I found these neat mats on Amazon that were designed for the trunk of a car; couldn't tell if they are made of rubber or plastic. They are designed to protect the trunk of a car when carrying plants...

Thanks Rivets! I'll try that. Not a problem if I can't find a manual, and certainly not something I need any time soon. One of the fun things about collecting and restoring old stuff is if we are...

Thanks! I am watching there, Amazon, CL, etc. It's certainly not a show stopper, just something that I feel will enhance it as time goes by.
It's a bruiser! Does a great job of cutting but I have to...

Hi, I have a 1969 Toro 10323 powered reel mower. It is in great condition, starts up within one or two pulls, and cuts nicely. I would like to know if anyone knows where I might find a user's manual...

Hi I'm Bob. Not the proud owner of a Bolens quite yet but should be by week's end. I'm getting a 915 Lawn Keeper to restore. When I can find them I would like to get a 1957 Ride-A-Matic and 1961...

Hi, I am planning to pick a 915 up the end of the week. It will be a restoration project; I'm between nervous and excited about it.

Thank you!

Thanks! I have several more and a couple Lawn Boys from 1958 & 1960. I'm trying to get a couple projects done early this coming week so I can start playing with these. I have a Toro reel I've used a...

I use different colors of electrical tape which I put around the handle of my plastic cans. The tape has stayed in place for years. Initially I used green tape for two-cycle fuel since my chain saw...

Hi. I'm from North Carolina. Retired, I'm collecting and restoring old powered reel mowers as a hobby. I have several Eclipses, a Jacobsen, an Excello, an old Sears (before the days of Craftsman),...
