I found the Iron Horse on craigslist...the 63 automower came from an other Iron horse owner that I helped a bit. He told me when he got it down from the attic I had first dibs....I said sold sight unseen. I was not dissapointed.

Do you know if there were dealers selling LBs in Texas in the 1960s? The reason I ask is that -- as far as I can tell -- LBs were not sold in Georgia until about the mid-1970s.

Just curious.

The gentalman I got the 63 from says the owner of a shop near galviston has some boxes of nos c and d parts that he could have and asked if I was interested....so it seems likely they must have been around for a while. The owner of my local shop has a nos lawnboy in the box that he said is 30 to 40 years old. That seems to be in your time frame. I have only lived here for about 15 years so it is hard to say for sure

That's one fine automower you got there. It's hard to find one with the drive still in good working order.
