Hello,I'm from Wisconsin and seem to have developed a craigslist habit. It started a few years ago when I saw an ad for non-running Stihl BG75,a MAC3516,and a Poulan chainsaw w/case for $30.Got them all running,kept the Stihl,McCulloch,and the case,sold the Poulan for$20.Then last spring bought a Jacobsen 8-26 snowblower for$25 that needed a bit of tlc.Did a bit of carb cleaning and painting and belt replacement,runs and looks great.Then I came across a 1986Toro 7-25 RER mower...$15.This thing really looked ugly,cracking flat tires,missing airfilter,bad muffler,lots of mice nest on the engine.Again,got it running,cleaned and painted it,replaced missing pieces.Perfect for my backyard.So now a few weeks ago I picked up my first LawnBoy,a 1988 8157a,non-running of course!It may not be the most popular LB but it does a nice job of cutting.It has a few problems yet so that is how I came to this site,this was first on the list of LawnBoy forums when I did a search.Lastly,this past weekend I got a Sears 5-24 Eager1 snowblower.Non-running,stuck in gear and a bit rusty.It now runs and is not stuck in gear,rusty cables preventing anything moving on it yet.I also have a Husqvarna fwd AutoWalk mower I bought brand new 8years ago from Sears. Well,that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Cheers!!!
