@kmccune. I have great memories of the LawnBoy push mowersm. My dad bought a new one in 1955. The instruction manual had wonderful blow-up diagrams of the engine, carburetor, and magneto. I mowed a lot of yards in those days. At the end of each season, I installed new piston rings, new magneto points and condenser,and a new needle and seat in the carburetor. The deck was magnesium and didn’t rust. With its 2 stroke engine, the mower was light and easy to push. Am owner could keep the mower going almost indefinitely. The mowers were easy to push making self propellsion unnecessary.
