Well I am about to finish my current lawn boy project which is a mod 7268. I painted the deck, cleaned off the handle rust degreased and cleaned and reset carb new mag wheels. The shroud needs some major work. But here Is the pics.

Good job. Nice score on the wheels! Hope they didn't set you back too much.

$12 each for front $15 each for back. Not too bad!

That looks great... almost too nice to use for actual mowing. :laughing:

About the wheels - they look like original-equipment plastic wheels. Are they? You said "mag" so I'm a little confused.

I've got a 7268 myself and consider it one of the best LBs ever made although it's not rare enough to be really valuable.

Thanks for the photos.

Yes they are OEM. I'm going to sell it when I'm finished.

Yes, you should get top dollar for it if it runs as good as it looks. You may need to wait till Spring when the demand is high unless you are looking for a collector. :biggrin:

Are you listing in eBay? If so, and if you're willing to ship, you should have no trouble selling it. Nice mower. Good luck!

It's such a nice restoration that it's a shame if it doesn't go to a collector.

:thumbsup: A+ :thumbsup:

I agree that selling on eBay is probably your best bet.

yes it needs to go to a collector. i think im going to list it on ebay tomorrow. I would keep it but i'm running out of room. i really like doing this and making sure that we keep as many of these machines in service as possible. My yard will never be mowed with anything else. I just love them! BTW i just bought two more this weekend a mod 10545 disabled electric start self propelled. runs perfect! and a S21ZSR needed a lower crank seal and performed that today and it now runs perfect! I will post some pics later tomorrow of the two new ones.
