My Lawn Mower Repair Thread (56k warning)

Hanyoukimura, look what I found for sale on my local craigslist:wink:
simplicity mower
I'd snap it up, but I have 7 other mowers to get running, and don't have any room for it. Don't know if your anywhere close to where its located, but thought maybe you would be interested since you have one:thumbsup:

Man I wish that was nearby, looks like its in good shape, and the cover is intact, unlike mine.

For $15 that's probably a good deal even if it has major problems but I'd be a little concerned about the comment in the ad about it being "tired" -- that could mean low compression.

A shame there can't be cool mowers like that in my area. Looks like it would be a fun one to fix

You're in Ohio and you're complaining about a lack of cool mowers? Check out the Lawn-Boy forum on this website.

IMO, Lawn-Boys made before the mid-1980s are the finest mowers ever made and you are very well located to find great old LBs on the cheap or even free. :thumbsup:

I've actually been keeping an eye out for one of them. Don't have any 2 cycle mowers & think it would be a cool mower to restore & use occasionally
 
A good reason not to design a lawn mower engine air filter that faces forward and opens by tipping down. Can you guess what that reason is?
