Possible New Aquisition

[Guidotkp]

Local Craigslist ad has a 10304 Self-Propelled. Asking $50 obo. Runs rough, but it's been sitting inside for 10 years. S-P drive works fine, and seller says no rust or damage. What y'all think?

1996 Silver Series that runs (rough) asking Fiddy bucks? It's a LawnBoy. I'd love to get it and tune it up.

I'd offer him 35. He'll say $45, you say $40 and take it home. :smile:

Good luck! Keep us posted.

It obviously needs a new primer bulb.

I'm going to look at it friday evening. I figure if it's in as good of shape as the seller states, and I can pick it up for $30-$40 it will be worth it.

Is it me or is it either missing the front right wheel? Or atleast out of place? Lol

I'm not the OP, but I can see it's not missing or out of place...for a Lawn-Boy.

I'm showing my age by pointing our that -- at one time -- not all that long ago -- most push mowers had that staggered-wheel design.

Really? I only have familiarity with mowers from the 70s onward and Lawn-Boys were the only mower I've ever used (or knew of) with the staggered wheel design.

Hmm I didn't know that. That's pretty cool
