Got this for free. One side of the handle where it meets the deck is messed up. It's kinda wierd how it attaches, and didn't look at it well, so I don't know if it can be repaired. Ill post a pic of that later. Didn't try to start it yet. It seems to turn over with the recoil, and there is...

So I am going to make a forum post about what I am currently working on with my 7268. I'm not really mechanically inclined so much, so sometimes I don't know what I'm doing, lol. Anyway, This thread is about the Lawnboy I got for free. It ran and cut the lawn, but seemed prone to flooding...

Hi guys. two questions: I am trying to remove the muffler from the bottom of my 1980 Lawn-Boy 7268. The Damn Blade adapter is stuck on!!! How can I remove it??? I soaked it for a bit with some PB Blaster stuff, and was banging around on it with a hammer. I also tried to pry it off using...

Just picked up a free 7268. Seems to work OK, but it may need some love. Seemed like gas started coming out of the carb after a while, not sure why that is. Is there anyway to tell what year it was made?:thumbsup:
