looking for info on my lawn boy

[Two-Stroke]

I thank everyone for the help but still no luck. Lawn boy.com says it doesent match. ... There 80s models but there not exact...

I think there may be a problem with the serial numbers. If I go to one of the parts sites and input the information for my Lawn Boy (model 7266, serial # 7874526) the sites produce a message something like, "serial number not found". Note that my serial # has seven (7) digits.

However, I noticed that all the 1977 model 7266s have serial numbers starting with "7" while the 1978 model 7266s have serial numbers starting with "8". The difference is that the numbers on the websites have nine (9) digits (vs seven on my mower). So I'm pretty sure that my mower is a 1977.

Some variation of this may apply to your case.

Any chance there's an "R" in front of that 7266? That's what I have, an R7266. A 7266 is described as a "lawnmower" and an R7266 is described as a "side discharge mower" on the Lawnboy.com site. Who wudda thunk there could be a difference but there is :confused2:

No, the model number on the name plate says "7266".
