Nice looking and running mower. I just sold a new old stock, side bag on eBay that would have complimented it well. The brick tops are popular with collectors so you can't go wrong fixing that one up. :)

That's a wonderful mower. Thanks for posting the video.

Did it really run that well after sitting for 10 years? Or did you have to clean the fuel system?

I'd use color safe bleach if I were you. And air dry it. Let us know if that works.

Were Lawn-Boy mowers imported to Scotland? Or are they just an American and Canadian thing?

If not, I'll bet you have some other brands of two-stroke mowers popping up in local ads from time to time. :cool:

Looks good. Did you find Lawn Boy paint or a close match. Grabber green engine paint is kinda close. Don't know how much you plan on using this mower, but unless the cracks are in high stress areas I wouldn't worry much about them. DEF do NOT pay that for a new deck. Even if you could find the right one. I've found steel wool works good for shining the handles up. New wheels are on eBay, but be prepared to spend a little more to get the oem style. Keep up the good work.

Great looking mower!

About 10 years ago, we shipped several containers of our old "for parts" Lawnboys to the Philippines. There were a lot brick tops in those containers.

It would be great to see whether we sparked a retro Lawn Boy community over there.

Great job on the resto!

Well, as the name implies I am a snapperfreak, but I do like those old bricktops. Just neat looking. Growing up I remember my next door neighbor had a Snapper and a Lawnboy just like that. Yours sounds really good, what a classic!:thumbsup:
