Have to find out how old this mower is!

[Chris7050]

I just joined this forum because, as the title says I "...have to find out how old this mower is!".

I have a Lawn Boy Model 7050, Serial # 9465704 that was given to me 16yrs ago, I still use it and runs great. I looked at some sites that say a 7050 model with a serial # starting with 9 was built in 1959! I can稚 believe it is this old and may be a 7050 from the 80痴. It was built by OMC of Canada in Peterborough, Ontario. Does anybody have any insight on what year this mower was built. I don't have a picture handy but it is completely green in color.

I checked Lawnboy site, and it shows that model 7050 and serial you give, was truly made in 1959. Wow, that is some age, but LB's, especially the older one, seems to run a very long time. I have some made back in 1990's, that run better than a new one.

Is the top/tank plastic or metal?

If you indeed have a 59, 21" push C14 engine 2.5 hp runs at 2800 rpms...should be gold and off white....Wish I had a C

Thanks. Canada seems like a good place for Lawn-Boy collecting.

I am interested to find out the exact year of your machine. I have hard manuals from 54 to 67 and pdf from 54 to 84 and can only find it in 59. I have looked on line and seen one called an 81...but I find no 7050 in the modle list from 80 untill 84....looks like a steel deck from pic...is that correct?
