Lawn-Boy 5024 Date of manufacture

[WhyZed]

I'm in the KW area and NAPA is where I got Grabber Green.

The green is a little bright. From what I've read, it is a closer match to the newer LBs than the 70s & 80 models.
It still looks great mind you, just a tint bright.

How about the "Lawn-Boy" lettering on the shroud? That's not a decal -- it's paint -- right? Will you use white paint with a stencil?

Thats a good point! I was thinking of just thinking of using matte vinyl. I am trying to get the logo as close as possible using adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw. I have downloaded some vector art to try and merge together by overlaying original. I can also do it your way and reverse out the letters but would need to wait until paint is completely cured so as not to remove it when taking off the stencil. I think vinyl logo is the easier method!

Thanks

I hope the vinyl that you use is resistant to fuel, etc. Same point applies to any paint that you put on a mower, of course.

I think they (bricktops) were lettered with paint originally.
