, isn't it funny how you can get opinions on things? I know many people that have had Lawn Boys and loved them, as for me, I was never much on them. I think it was because my folks had one when I was young and it was the first mower  I ever used. Being a kid I was too short to push it properly, when I pushed on it, I would push forward and up on the handle and it make the front end end tear into the ground where the front wheel was offset. I hated that damn offset wheel. That and, it clogged badly. The problem was probably mowing grass to long or having the deck not adjusted properly but I didn't know any better.  So, my memories of Lawn Boys are not good ones and those are the well thought out and scientifically based reasons I have never bought one. 

IHave 3 old 2 cycles, couldnt stand them. Had the same problem with the off set wheel. Any uneven ground they would dig right in.
A little snow blower humour

My father in law went out last week to blow some 8 inches of snow off his drive.  sucked up the dailey paper into his blades!..  jammed it up something fierce!. My wife calls me at work, says a fellow he works with said to use a torch to burn it out.  I said bad idea. My pressure washer would probaly cut it out of there but i live 3 hours away. .  So i said to keep spraying water on it to soften it up.    Might of worked. He spent 4, count them, 4 hours to pick and scrape it out of there. Oh yeah, told him to keep his hands out of there also. I guess my mother in law let him have it almost the whole time he was working on it. Did i mention i live 3 hours away?
