Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I'm sure someone on the forum remembers these, we had a couple of old ones from the sixties but they were tan or light green.

This one was in our local paper, it is a 1964 been used to mow the same 1 acre lot every year since it was new.

Thanks Torch, can you please review your Toro when you get the chance?

Termy, it's still in the box.  I actually don't have a lawn right now, just some vicious weeds.  Have to sod (or seed) it.  Most likely sod it and most likely soon.  So once I use it I'll definitely post a review.  But I did also purchase a Stihl FS 55RC gas powered trimmer to take care of the weeds.  They were knee high plus in some areas.  I was like Genghis Khan out there, lopping off weeds left and right.  It made short work of them.  I am impressed with it after it's initial use.

If it's level ground, then it would be ok.  I think that sky blue looks nice on a push mower. 

Those old 2 stroke Lawn Boys were great for on hills and unlevel ground.  The reason being that they didn't have oil in the base to lubricate the engine, it was in the gas.  We see lots of mowers with the correwct amountof oil in every year jump into the graveyard because the owner was using them on a bank where the oil lubrication just was sufficient.  When you break the news to the them they usually say, "My lawnboy mowed that bank/hill for years."

They were a good machine in their day.  Unfortunetly that day has passed.
