Lawnboy for sale

[Dixieboy]

Here is what I see occasionally in my area , so when anybody wants to know how much is one worth or how much to offer I don't get real excited. Don't know what may be wrong with it but it would at least have a lot of good parts.

It is a M series mower.
I bought one last year needed new coil and tank.
This one looks like it has a external plastic gas tank attached as all the original ones leaked.
Parts are harder to find for this model.
However for 45 bucks not that big of a gamble I would offer 30 for it.
They have a nice sound and mow well when fixed up.
Deck is magnesium.

Here is a pic of the one I restored last year.

I bought an M-Series very similar for 40.00 2 years ago, had to unplug the oil level sensor and bag sensor and replace the coil, best cutting mower I have. Still use the injection pump and gas tank does not leak.

Nice restore, The three tanks on this one kid of confused me as I have never used one like this.

The one with the 3 tanks looks in better condition than the one I bought.
I had to strip the deck on mine as most of the paint was off.

what is the tank on the left side?

what is the tank on the left side?

The original tank had 2 compartments one for the oil and the other for the gas.
I could not find a replacement tank with 2 openings only 1, So I have to mix the gas and oil together.
With the dual tank you could put gas in one and the 2 cycle oil in the other and it would mix when running.

The tank I was wondering about is the third one hanging of the left side.
