Lawn-Boy collectors

I was told the lawn boy sign was never hung up in the shop. That was found covered in the dust shown above on a shelve lost over time.
It cleaned up good with a quick wipe down.

That's some really cool stuff. Great condition. I found a local repair shop's sign at a flea market a few years ago. It now hangs in my shop at home.

I'm running out of room here in a 32x48

Mine is smaller, 24 x 24. However, my youngest son has all the room taken up doing over his Bronco 2.
I kind of got pushed to the side. I don't mind though.

Looking at an Ipl for my model, 7084, I don't see an upper crank seal. Am I missing something?

 

[KYsawman]

The upper seal is in the magneto assembly in the ipl's

 

[Workshop]

Are the upper and lower seals the same? Or do I have to get a magneto assembly to get the seal.
Not sure the seals are even bad. I can get Caber rings for it and thought I'd put new seals in at the same time.

both upper and lower seals are the same.

 

[KYsawman]

The seal is just in the mag ipl it is replaceable and you do not need a new mag plate.

My well used 465A which I love burning Blendzall, just for the smell.

That nice 2 cycle smell is just part of the lawn-boy grass cutting experience and it keeps the bugs away too !

Found a spot for the lawn boy sign today and was 40" .

After pricing used LB signs not near as nice. I guess it will stay right where its at.

Nice setup.

There is some real serious L-B collectors out there and I keep seeing the prices of vintage mowers going up so the demand and interest in them is there .

 

[Cut4fun]

Guess I need to check and see if mt bro still has his ole LB's in his barn. I know dad had a couple too.
They might be somewhere as they never throw out stuff.

$50. Worth it? Local to me.

 

[Nitehawk55]

I would say so , looks like all early to mid 60's C engine powered mowers .
Easy bring 5 times that or more in parts on Ebay or fix and enjoy .
If they were closer I'd buy them right fast !

Cleaned her up today. Youngest son painted up some car parts over the winter. Used it as a spray bench. Whole top was black.

My Lawnboy from the late 60's. I also have another from '64. I've run this one about 10 yrs. now.

I don't understand why anyone would buy another type of lawnmower. You can't wear them out, it weighs about a third of my neighbors mower and always starts on the second 2 finger pull. A tip is to shut the gas off and let him run out of gas instead of using the switch.

He lives on 91 octane no corn gas, and Saber mixed @ 32:1.
