It's new-in-box... right? How did you find it?

Thanks for the photos and have a happy 4th.

I found this on the top shelf in the back corner of the warehouse at one of my local mower shops....made me smile and think awww yeah...lol

That's a really awesome find! Wish that would happen to me one of these days. All I manage to find on my shelves are cobwebs and dust...

What a find!!,,,,one in a million. You lucky dog!! Thanks for posting pics.

Jeff

Would like to take it for a test drive...but can't bring myself to take it out of the box...lol
But thats ok...I have plenty of mowers.

Uncle Lee,

I'd keep it new in the box unused. A) they don't make 2 stroke lawnmowers anymore B) It has definite collect-ability being 'new in box'. C) it might be worth a pretty penny down the road. I'll wait to see you on Antiques Roadshow some day saying that LawnBoy is worth a fortune to the right person,,,lol.

You beat me to it. That's what I was going to say... particularly since unclelee has plenty of other mowers to use.

Never had a M....what do you think of it?

it looks like a robot.has plenty of power,the parts are not too bad as Lawnboys go but it is big and clunky like the school bus the handle makes a creaking sound It uses a few assorted fasteners such as torx and allen head screws.its not that hard to work on I dont trust the oil injection but am just going to run it and see what happens.

I'd be leery of the oil injection system too. You could always drain the oil reservoir and run 32:1 mix in the main tank,,,that way you KNOW it's getting oil. M series L.B.'s were very expensive new. I'm sure the engineers at L.B. knew what they were doing.

Jeff

I am going to run ams oil 2 stroke injector oil, in it.IMO the cause for pump failure is due to the heavy premix oil most people used also it has a safety switch on the oil tank that shuts it down when the oil level gets low another thing I am finding out is the M series has very few parts that you can swap from other Lawnboys.

Took it out of the box to knock the dust off

WOW!

YOWZA!

AMAZING!

YOU ARE A LUCKY GUY!

That is one of the mowers I wanted when I bought my 1992 L21ZSM (see pic) Used from a Dealer about 7 or 8 years ago for $150 out the door. Not bad for a Commercial Engine with Self Propel drive. It was in good shape, but it sure was not new like yours. It has been my buddy ever since. I call it a LawnBuddy instead of LawnBoy.

My Snapper is model 214x5 Commercial mower also, with a Wisconsin Robin Engine that I bought new in 1986. But the damn thing weighs a ton and the rear wheel drive mechanism is kaput. I'm into weight training, but pushing that mower around my 3/4 acres is nuts. The LawnBuddy weighs like nothing compared to the Snapper, and the self drive mechanism on the LawnBuddy is sound and works great to this day. The LawnBuddy is my every week mower. I love it. My only concern is my wheels are looking pretty feeble lately and I may have to replace them in a year or two.

ENJOY THAT MOWER! WHAT A FIND! Thanks for sharing.

The more i see that thing the more I think it would good better in my garage lol jealousy is getting the best of me lol

I HAVE LISTED THIS MACHINE ON EBAY

It looks like it's doing OK. If it was a 21, I'd probably bid on it.

Well....we will find out if I keep it, or if it has a new home.....and should get a fair assesment of a NOS Lawnboy market value.

Well....it is off to it's new home today.

Out of curiosity, if you don't mind saying could you tell us what you paid and what you sold it for?

Sold on ebay for $760 plus shipping.

You wouldn't happen to have one to sell? Actually I need a deck for mine.
