Well i finally got 2 Lawn Boys for myself...always heard how great they were and so reliable they were..so i got the chance to save these two ....i do not know much about them...i have a 10201 and a S21ZPN...neither run but both were long ago garaged and not used...where is the best place to source parts?...any help will so be appreciated....

Your off to a good start big brother...can't speak for local sources in your area, but there is a guy in Michigan with lots of nos on ebay. Also a great decal guy in Florida also on ebay. The guy in Florida also has lots of nos. If he dont have it listed, you can send him a message and if he has what you need he will list it for you. His user name is rsmotorsports_racing_collectables. Great guy to deal with

Well thank you for the great info...really appreciate it...

You asked about parts but you might also be interested in this online shop manual.

In one of your photos I spotted an F-series engine -- arguably the best push mower engine ever made. :thumbsup:

You can read about it in the manual. If you're new to two-cycle engines don't skip Section 1 -- they get into how those engines work -- and how they differ from four-cycle.

Let us know how it goes.

well thank you...i got them off craigslist...talked to the gentleman last fall and just got them this weekend..40.00 well spent i think...the 10301 ran a while back..he can not remember how long ago the older one ran..have always been garaged and were like new underneath...i was tired of buying junk and had always loved lawn boys...and i run a non for profit in my town and we are starting to help those in need...and i wanted to see how well these work...my idea was to get a fleet of these to mow people lawns who are unable too...glad i did well with my find...thank you again

hey where do we find touch up paint ..the older one could use some love too...i was told someone still sells nos parts...any idea how to find him?..are parts crazy expensive?..

I grew up with 2 cycle and have always loved them....not sure why i have not had one till now...but they sure are a favorite...

Click to expand...

Try eBay. :thumbsup:

thanks...i do have a question..can these be upgraded to the commercial style wheels with the steel rim and grease able bearings?...i see i need at least a wheel for each one...i was thinking like these ones i found...just a idea...

dont waste your money on the v force.fix it and sell it If your lucky you will break even.its not a sought after model due to the fact it was toro's effort to give two stroke lawnboy's a bad name.but what do I know I got 4 of them the last one I found at the curb.I have one that is a Toro v force and it cuts pretty good.It has a different deck design than the LB I have not paid over 20 bucks for one but end up sticking 30 to 40 in them to get them up and running Good luck with yours

i am confused..what is the v force?...the newer one?..they are no good?...please explain...thank you for info..

the newer one you have is referred to as the v force.they do not have roller bearings on the crankshaft and are not a true Lawnboy motor.It is a techumseh mfg'd for toro/lawnboy as a cheaper alternative to the duraforce series.You did okay on your deal just dont let it dollar and dime you.

well thank you ..i did not know that...so the older one is the keeper and fix and sell the newer one?...

A good rule of thumb.....if it ain't a duraforce...make sure it has a cast deck....;-)

well thank you...there are quite a few of these around me and i run a non for profit that helps people..so looks like i will be getting quite a few of these before the year is up...gotta save them before they get scrapped out....

These are some of the lawnboys I have found on craigslist

i hope i find ones like that...drool:smile:

Ok, I see what mowers you have. Are they running yet? If not, what state are you in? I can look up these parts and then cross reference them to see what I have. I'm going to work today, so I will see what I have. I have several carbs, 15 or so shrouds, decks, motors, recoil, magneto, wheels galore, etc..... Please find out what you are needing and reply to me. I will see what I can do and can probably give them to you fairly cheap. Thank you. Good luck

I also am considering selling my 1986 lawn boy suburban model 8480. It is great condition for its age. All decals and most paint are intact. Runs like a dream and drive system works fine too! I have the rear discharge attachment for it, and it would come with an extra blade. As I said, I'm not positive I will sell it, but if someone offers me a good price, I might part with it. Has been garaged, and has always been cleaned and well taken care of. Carb has been cleaned, wheels greased, underneath of shroud and engine cleaned, spark plug cleaned, cables oiled, and deck scraped clean of grass. If interested, please reply.
