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.

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. My email is zlmbrt13@gmail.com
Thank You!
Thank You!
