The Official "Lawnmower" Thread

[Grrrrr609]

So I collect lawnboys. Not the 4 cycle crap but the old 2 cycle lawnboys. Have rebuilt a few. And have a couple old ones I plan to restore someday.

A couple of my favorites are an old 1950s Iron Horse, 1964 D series and a 1970 D seies.

Here is a few pics.

This thread is classic.

So what mower do you like the most. Which one can cut the lawn like you see on a baseball field.

I love the thread

"Life's journey is not to arrive in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, "Shouting....Holy Shit....what a ride!"

Well u have to sharpen the blade ecologically to get the cut u desire.

Honestly the best cut I've ever gotten was from the old time rotary mowers that was razor sharp.

One like this.

I opened this thread. Yardgar is all that came to mind. Someone hand me a perdomo fresco and fill the tank. Could walk around all day.

Is ur old 2 cycle stalling out? Carb is fine and it's still stalling? It's probably ur exhaust ports. Poor 2 cycle oil mixed with crappy gas with leave carbon build up in ur exhaust ports.

Before:


And after cleaning with Seaford and 3/8s dowel.

I only use Opti 2 oil and 93 octane gas in all my 2 stroke motors.

That is officially old school bro.

Here is an old Sensation. A clone of the old bobcat mowers or so I understand. The deck is cast aluminum. Picked it up for and extra 10 bucks when I bought an old lot of lawnboys for parts.

I've got an old 1950s I think Briggs and Stratton mower I picked up from an auction along with a box of tools for 7 bucks but I can't find a pic of it. Will have to take one.

I recently was reunited with my father's old riding mower; it was a Case from the late 60's I believe. One of the family members found it and bought it. The guy my dad gave it to when I was young still had it.

We spent many a nights doing Halloween hay rides in it with the family. I seriously had a hard time not tearing up when I got to sit in it and start the engine up. It's just one of those things that you can never properly convey with words.

Thanx. I saw a comment in another thread about a lawnmower thread. I think it was sarcasm but still made me think of my mowers and lawn stuff. So I thought I would post up my pics. I enjoy working on the old stuff. Trying to get things back to working order. This is the time of year I tinker on things.

Isn't that old stuff just neat? Maybe it's the memories of a simpler time. Idk but it all started with me buying an old lawnboy just like the one I use to push as a kid.
