      My brother has a newer LB 4-stroke. It's maybe 5 years old, 1/4 acre per week. It's already on it's last legs. About to lose a bearing it sounds like. Good thing he can use my 10401 anytime he wants. It's a shame a top notch symbol of American quality and ingenuity has been reduced to slapping their name and paint on a cookie cutter CPS (Chinese piece of shit). It's a same with all of the old reputable brands. Westinghouse, GE, etc. Nothing but a bunch of garbage.

    Great video. I can tell you have a passion! It’s wonderful to see a young person so interested in something mechanical. In the “THROW AWAY” society we live in, I can tell you’re a “fix it” type of guy. I still have my receipt and manual…and I’m still using my 2 cycle model 7035 purchased new on Oct 29, 1986.

    Great collection. I love the Lawn Boy mowers too. I have a 1997 Silver Series that I use for my lawn. Runs great. Big fan of the chrome handle too. No annoying kill handle/bar. I wish I still had the old 2 stroke that was from the lates 60s or early 70s (color was tan) that I used growing up. Lawn
    Boys are a blast from the past. They were the only mowers we ever had in my household now and growing up. I like that you use your collection too to get the job done.

    I am glad you posted this video. I have the same problem with the switch that you talked, about can't figure how to wire it up? I tested the switch and it does turn on & off, but I can't get to work when hooked up. There is a poll on the coil to connect the wire and I assume the other wire is ground? can you help? It's the same model you have, in fact I have the same t one you show , model R7268.

Is there a specific made/model/year I should be looking for? I know they are old so I want to make sure I get the best one possible!
