May go back for this one....

Looks like a late 60s modle in there as well. Has the mag side discharge cover....I would grab that one too.
But if I where limited to just one choice....the commercial would definitely be my first choice.

I would be all over that yellow topped Lawn Boy--the one without self-propelled. It's probably a model R7070. The shroud on that one looks to be in better condition than mine. That is a nice "F" engine mower from around 1980, before all the mandated compliance trash. (Sorry, I over reacted.)

I have one of those an it's one of my favorites.

@ironhorse:
That's a nice collection of mowers for sale. Do you know what the story is? Why they're being sold?

Seller claims they're from an estate, but after talking with him I got feeling that these were mowers that he had picked up over the years, I wasn't going to ask if that was the case or not and it really didn't matter because they were all for sale, oddly, the best mowers in the bunch were priced the lowest because they're non runners for parts or repair, I came close to buying several, but just don't have the room for them and I'm mostly into early die cast Briggs powered mowers, but these L/B's just keep going up in value, I still haven't ruled out going back.....

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe you could make some shelves the width of a mower and remove the handles. Somewhere on this website there are photos of such a setup. It would allow you to store a lot of mowers in minimal space.

Or you could just flip them -- eBay maybe?

You live in a good place for finding old LBs. I never see deals like that here in GA.
