Lawnboy bricktop

[Two-Stroke]

I bet you were stressed. Funny how a lawn mower makes you that way, but LB's aren't just another mower. I hope you were able to buy it for craigslist prices, and not eBay lol.

It was at the higher end of CraigsList prices and I had to buy a non-working trimmer -- that I might be able to fix and use. It was $75 for the mower and trimmer. The mower seems to have been pretty well maintained but probably has more hours than 100 average mowers. :biggrin:

I have two commercial LB's but i have never seen one with a bricktop engine. If I could find one, I would trade both of the ones I have for a bricktop. For some reason I am partial to them, I think I have 5 now.....

"I think" ??
This reminds me of when I was younger and owned many Saabs, at times, I did not know exactly how many...those were the days...lol
Now I have just one Saab and two Lawn Boy.
All run, more or less.

Hey this is the first time on this forum. I have that same Brick Top I bought in 1982 from a landscaper after the mower he sold me was spitting gas out the spark plug. It was new under his work bench never used. Since that time in 1995 I hit one the the kids dinosaur in the grass and cracked the magnesium deck. I have run two different decks since that time. I would love to find an original deck if anyone has one. I hope to re-ring the mower this winter for 20 more years of cutting.

I just aquired a lawn bot bricktop from a guy at work. The mower appears to be original but the motor is blue and the deck is yellow, even the grass chute is yellow. All of the original decals are on the motor. Is this original? I will try to get some pictures for the forum but I am curious if the paint scheme is factory done...... Thanks

It's a IH deck with a Loafer motor.

You are right...loafer/IH, this is truly a case where the sum of the parts are greater than the whole.
