Vintage Lawn Mower Ads

[SnapperLady]

That is freakin' HILARIOUS!!

What is also hilarious is the OUTFIT being worn by the hottie using the mower. Yeah, right - like I'd ever wear little flats and a silk scarf around my neck while I'm mowing.

My my my u don't see mower ads like that these days! Knowing me i'd be looking at the mower for awhile first though...but only a short while:smile:.......................

So back to the mower,I didn't know any mower beside Lawnboy looked like that with the staggered front wheels.

Now I see where the off-set wheel design originated..
In so many ways, a better time...You will never see one of todays mowers being tauted for its light weight....and a man shown easily lifting one !
Is the origin of the ad known ??
Pop. Mechanics or Science ??

LawnBoy mowers were nice and light... But Very durable... they used a light weight alloy didn't rust.. but would crack, and rather easy to pick up... :smile:KennyV
