I just bought an old Lawnboy #6257 commercial model and I'm coming up with nothing with web searches so I was hoping the forums could answer a few questions I have about it.
#1.) It's got an orange "Hevi-Duti" decal on the front of the deck. Is this rare? (I've never seen any others with this).
#2.) Did this come with a guard? The deck & shroud are original but I don't see any mounting locations for a guard (???).
#3.) It's currently got replacement white, steel, ball bearing rear wheels but without the zerk fittings. Would the orange wheels w/fittings really make this much more valuable? I'd like to buy a whole set of used orange wheels if anyone's got any.
#4.) How do you install a new Air Vane/Governor spring? aka: How do you get the cotton pickin air Vane off to replace the spring? I've got a new spring and I don't want to break any plastic air vane parts installing it.
#5.) Should the grass block-off plate be black or green?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
