Lawn Boy 1013 Edger

[Fireman 123]

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.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I've never seen one of those so maybe it's fairly rare.

:thumbsup: Great Find. :thumbsup:

I have the D460 and they are fairly rare.
At least what I can find out about them.

Looks like it has some sidewalks and driveways still left in it. You saved that rare gem. Sure is handy to have a welder.Good job and thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Mine didn't need welded. It was a church sale find. $3.00 a few years ago. Fired it up today (first time this year). needed the plug cleaned a little.
Here's my "new" Lawnboy mower I got last week. $100 (Craigslist)
I'm getting another one just like it soon.

Just got a Toro w/Suzuki engine. Push,,,not self propelled. Bagger and side discharge chute. I'm the 2nd owner.
I had the 3 speed model a few years ago but traded it for a Lawnboy. The 3 speed at the time was more mower than I wanted. (The deck was "the stretched limo" model.) Now I wanted one again with the Suzuki engine. Here's the one I had:
