I had a 1961 it said snow boy right on it and it was brown in color. Believe it or not it had really good power if you had it tuned up perfect. When you put a heavy load on it it would really dig down and go.
A priest buys a lawn mower at a garage sale Back at home, he pulls on the rope a few times with no results. He storms back to the garage sale and tells the previous owner "I can't get the mower to start!" "That's because you have to curse to get it started, says the man." "I'm a man of the cloth. I don't even remember how to curse." "You keep pulling on that rope, and it will come back to you."
I was 4 years old when that snow boy was made squirt a little carburetor cleaner on the spark plug wires When you put the new coil on to help it slide in and dry up and seal everything Great videos👍🏻
So weird to see skis on all 4 corners. I get the front.... but if there are skis on the back also doesn't it slip and slide and not track straight???? But if not and it works good, why did LawnBoy go to the expense of the wheels, only to add the skis too? Anyway, it looks like you could modify skid shoes from a modern snowblower to bolt on the front at least.
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
Whenever a lot of people hear the name Lawnboy, they think of Lawn Mowers. However, as you and a lot of your viewers know, Lawnboy made a lot of different pieces of equipment. Although the snow blower you featured was a push type, they also made self propelled models. I have been collecting Lawnboy equipment for close to thirty years. My collection has grown large and I just wish that there was a museum I could donate them to. You also talked about parts being harder and harder to find, I have, on my at last check, accumulated 438 different NOS parts which I have drawn on to help fellow Lawnboy collectors.
When I first started finding your videos, usually looking up how to fix something, I thought, "what's this gimmick acting bs, I don't have time for this!" but you know what?! Now that is my favorite part :) You guys are hilarious and also super informative, I still learn how to fix something and have fun while learning.
I just want to take a minute to thank you taryl, because you have taught me so much about the old technology. I ran into an old chainsaw that just needed the points cleaned, everything else worked great.
sure have come a long way in technology and safety....loved the sparks coming off the cee ment when you first started the beast up.....OSHA and UL would have a field day with that machine today...great fix Taryl
OMC made Lawn Boy back in the day. They made Johnson and Evinrude outboards. The coil/points/condenser are OMC outboard parts. You can still get them from Sierra aftermarket. The carb is OMC made also.
I own a early 60s Ariens with a 4hp motor that blows snow well and drives it’s self. I own a bunch of moto mower, portercable garden tractors. Do you see those? How about beaver tractors?
Is it just me, or does it look like the pull cord could be re-routed through another hole on the side of the pull-cord housing where the carb is? Make for easier starting & quick adjustments.
That coil looks exactly like a 1960s Johnson/Evinrude coil. EDIT: That would explain why it says OMC on the side of the tank.. I didn't know they were owned by OMC back then, crazy.
Back in the late nineties an old neighbor gave me the edger version of that,, it was an orange one and absolutely in mint cosmetic condition but oh did I need that coil !!! I got it running really nicely but the second it was fully hotted up she went nuts , bad coil,, the coil looked horrific... There was no one around who had one and I had no Internet to make it happen. A few years later around 2003 I sold that beautiful thing on eBay to a guy in Louisiana for $370.00 plus shipping..
Taryl I don't do small engine repair or much of any repair. But at 73 y.o. I enjoy looking over your shoulder as you work and listening to your explanations. It reminds me of working with my Daddy 60 - 65 years ago. I think you are one of the best you tube channels. You put at lot into your plot lines too. I hope your subscribers will take off and you'll hit 1M.
My dad specialized in Lawn Boy. He repaired dozens of them in the 1980's. He got some from the dump. The aluminum bodies cracked easily and ruined the mowers. Dad would salvage the engine and mount on a good frame. Never saw a Snow Boy before. Works surprisingly well in light snow.
I have fond memories of the same model machine my dad bought back then. Dad also had a gold 1958 Lawnboy self-propelled mower. No one in our neighborhood had a snowblower back then. Somewhere around 1964 we got the first snowblower on the block. I was 6 or 7 when we got it, I was intrigued by the shiny red snowblower and watched my dad use it, but never allowed near it when running. There was no room for discussion on that rule either. From brand new the engine was always a challenge to start cold, but dad knew Lawnboy and other small engines, it clearly was not his inability to start it. After doing some checking into the hard starting, the dealer swapped the engine under a recall, due to hard starting. After that the replacement engine was fine. Then comes the year of the 1967 snow in Chicago. Being a brilliant 9 year old boy, I left some old spark plugs on our driveway,. Dad hit them with the snowblower, rendering it damaged and unusable. The spark plugs were given to me after dad tuned up our 59 Impala, and now one or more had jammed in the auger chain, twisting the frame out of whack but not damaging the gearbox. The shear bolt did no good when the chain jams on the sprocket. After that mishap we had no snowblower during that 67 massive snowfall. My dad did have a noticeable annoyed look that whole week too. Dad could do almost anything with tools and repaired the snowblower a short time later, it worked perfectly after. I ran it for many years when I was older. After buying a new Toro a few years prior, I finally sold the still running fine Lawnboy at a garage sale in the 80’s, as I recall. My dad has been gone over 20 years now. This video really brought back memories. Thanks for this project video, I enjoyed seeing, and hearing that sweet Lawnboy snowblower motor again.
I admire your selfless shows in spite of a lot of effort you put into it, still doing it with a lot of chumor for which these shows give many young congratulations and run this channel as long as possible.
Taryl, flipping through the Collector's Item Manual, his hands black with grease & dirt..... Heh heh heh! Hopefully that fan is still a fan, after that..... "Where's My Dinner????" Heh heh heh! whole new line of t shirts coming out!!!!
You are correct. I had to do a word search for the word "Dirt" to find your comment. Doesn't it strike anyone strange that Taryl is doing that??? Insanity is more prevalent than I suspected.
Holy smokes that thing is insanely unsafe! Lol that front auger really spins fast. Man that would chew just about anything up and spit it out. And if its something long like an arm or leg its just gonna keep chewin and draggin ya in. Kinda scary. Make sure your pets are indoors! Geebus!
New subscriber here! Been watching your channel for awhile, fun stuff. Finally subscribing. Check out my lawn care channel. Love the dangerous old snow blower! lol Direct drive.. eek!
I have an early 1970s Montgomery Ward vertical shaft snowblower that looks similar in design...I'm about to tear it down to do general maintenance and repairs so this should be helpful. Thank you guys
You must be mistaken....you mean Local Scammer Ronnie......First time I've seen one of those Lawn Boy machines ..of course in Florida you have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot.
My neighbor wanted me to fix a late 70's early 80's Lawn Boy snow thrower. I went through the carburetor and cleaned it only to find the coil was bad. As I couldn't even locate one, and it was not worth the cost of repair, I told her it was scrap. It took me forever to sell a Toro Snow thrower I put brand new paddles and scraper on it. I ended up selling it for pretty much what I had into it for parts and labor. I am all done with two cycle snow throwers. Unless someone wants one fixed, I am never buying another one to fix and sell. It's just not worth it.
Selling snow blowers is all about timing. $25 at a yard sale in June, and when Home Depot and Lowes run out $200 in January to March. I had a guy drive over a hundred miles to buy one 2 years ago.
@@ricksanchez3176 same for snow shovels, the idiots would scrap the old metal ones and throw away the plastic ones, then along comes mr and mrs snow-storm. DUN-DUn-Dun. I have some very worn flat shovels here, that were used for coal and snow long ago (way older than me), they've been ground down to nearly razor sharp edges from being used and they work great for snow and thin ice removal, especially on ancient coarse concrete, add in some sunlight and it will be clean and dry as a whistle in 15F weather.
I just realized that I lived in the same town demotte for 12 years until about a year ago.. maybe I ran into taryl at the store or gas station and didn't even know it lol
You could probably make rubber paddles out of old tires and bolt them to the auger of this snowblower making it self- propelled like the more modern single stage blowers.
During the Ronnie walking through blizzard scene, I kept thinking " I bet he wanted to put a snowy green screen overtop and couldn't find one. Am I wrong Ronnie? Junior?
Sparky the Snow Boy - Nice light show the sparks coming out the front and chute also good for grinding glass jars LOL Love the Antique Hour now and then
That lawn boy coil looks just like a omc Johnson outboard coil and points from a light twin series motor that are still available from sierra if your in a pinch again 😉
thank you for your videos. this video helped me a lot by showing me how to replace and gap the points. my old motor is similar to the motor on this video. keep up the Awesome work. :)
Lawn Boy actually made a self propelled version of this snowblower. I don't think it was too reliable though I remember it had metal wheels my buddy's grandfather had one. He, my friend's dad, and my dad all worked at Johnson Outboards in Waukegan. Those old C engines were tough. Great video Taryl.
Pretty cool that your dad worked at OMC.I’m still running a 1983 Johnson 150 on a Ranger Bass boat- my dad bought it new when he retired- it was stored indoors it’s whole life. I met Ralph Evinrude (co- founder of OMC along with Mr. Johnson when I lived in Florida in the mid 70s- pretty neat guy.
@@johnjaeger5976 he made a good living there for sure. He retired in 86 after 33 years. A lot of my friends were Johnson Motor brats like me. We had a boat when I grew up. And what kind of motor did we have? You guessed it. A Chrysler. 😂😂
I just love these antique stuff - epic! Cheers from Sweden
👍
Wow...direct drive...!! what could go wrong!! lol! Congrats on fixing this historic classic blower !! Pretty Cool!
👍😂😂😂Gotta love Ronnie! That old Snow-Boy surprised me as it did throw snow pretty good. 👍
Great video. These old engine videos are my favorite!
Made back when machines were versatile. Combination snowblower, wood chipper and concrete resurfacer.
Yea now they want to sell you 3 different machines that you have to replace every other year bc of bad build quality.
That coil looks like its the same one used on omc outboards of the same era. Those old omc coils always delaminate like that.
We have gone country on the floats, and stitched them back together with really fine 30 ga. stainless steel wire.
nice spark show upfront.
I had a 1961 it said snow boy right on it and it was brown in color. Believe it or not it had really good power if you had it tuned up perfect. When you put a heavy load on it it would really dig down and go.
OMC Thanks for the video!
That thing is in really nice shape. A new set of case seals would be nice.
Great episode! Like for sure..
i think im addicted to snowblowers.
Nothing wrong with that...
man i like that snow boy i want one.
Ronnie's the best.
A priest buys a lawn mower at a garage sale
Back at home, he pulls on the rope a few times with no results.
He storms back to the garage sale and tells the previous owner "I can't get the mower to start!"
"That's because you have to curse to get it started, says the man."
"I'm a man of the cloth. I don't even remember how to curse."
"You keep pulling on that rope, and it will come back to you."
That thing sounds like me after getting a chicken bowl with extra black beans and hot sauce from Chipotle.

just wondering what city and state are you guys ?, would love to bring all my lawn equipment for maintenance
i think it is
Love those older machines. Like cars from the past, they had personality and were interesting to look at. Now everything is homogenous and boring.
Your gonna break a camshaft hitting on it like that.
Lol.😆
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer. Always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Iwhen I hear lawnboy, I know their talking about cheap junky mowers or blowers etc, still means cheap junk to me
Cheap junky equipment that lasts 40 plus years.@@iamburl2667
Watching Ronnie complain about the snow is like watching my wife.
Lmao

@15:43 "Micrometer Eyes". I learned a new word. Thanks Mr. Dactyl
Eye ball o meter
Sparking auger to help melt the snow.
Looks like Taryl has a case of Recoil Elbow. Hope its not serious. Keep up the great content
yes! I tried the bands - got shots for that from my ortho... nothing else helped
sure have come a long way in technology and safety....loved the sparks coming off the cee ment when you first started the beast up.....OSHA and UL would have a field day with that machine today...great fix Taryl

60 year old machine and you can still get some parts for it, that is amazing.
I like how Taryl's face looks like he's ALWAYS annoyed! LMAO
"Better take it to a repair shop" that line by Taryl made me laugh my ass off!!!
I'm snowed in out in Massachusetts, send Taryl!!!!
More ins than outs? Lol
I own a early 60s Ariens with a 4hp motor that blows snow well and drives it’s self. I own a bunch of moto mower, portercable garden tractors. Do you see those? How about beaver tractors?
The exhaust helps to thaw out the auger chain.
Is it just me, or does it look like the pull cord could be re-routed through another hole on the side of the pull-cord housing where the carb is? Make for easier starting & quick adjustments.
Didn't get my first snow thrower till the early 1990s when I was in my 50s. But I really enjoy learning about the oldies. You do a great job . Thanks
That coil looks exactly like a 1960s Johnson/Evinrude coil. EDIT: That would explain why it says OMC on the side of the tank.. I didn't know they were owned by OMC back then, crazy.
Engine was OMC
It seems to blow about equel to my $1100 Ariens with about 1 hour on it that doesnt work as well as my 25 year old 3hp 2 stroke Murray.
Back in the late nineties an old neighbor gave me the edger version of that,, it was an orange one and absolutely in mint cosmetic condition but oh did I need that coil !!!
I got it running really nicely but the second it was fully hotted up she went nuts , bad coil,, the coil looked horrific...

I am a hobby small engine repair and I feel the same , he remainds of my uncle working, sometimes it's just hilarious funny 😂
The SnowBoy needs a kill switch on the Handlebars so you can shut it off fast if you get a foot , cat , or some wire or rope wound up in the auger..
Same coil as omc boat motors. They tended to disintegrate.
My dad specialized in Lawn Boy. He repaired dozens of them in the 1980's. He got some from the dump. The aluminum bodies cracked easily and ruined the mowers. Dad would salvage the engine and mount on a good frame. Never saw a Snow Boy before. Works surprisingly well in light snow.
It's in good condition for its age, nice fix Taryl, keep em running, especially Ronnie! 👍
We got one in the shed. The chute thing would always blow off and it would turn into a snow fountain. Never getting rid of it
Dubai first I hope so I love this show

My grandmother loved Lawnboy mowers. She had several over the years that I can remember. Never seen a Snowboy before.
Yaay
Now that it has been featured on your show, maybe someone would pay a lot more than 200 for it.
I have an early 1970s Montgomery Ward vertical shaft snowblower that looks similar in design...I'm about to tear it down to do general maintenance and repairs so this should be helpful. Thank you guys
I have the MW horizontal version, picked up for peanuts. Early 1980s, the thing is built like a tank.
I used to do that as a kid. Crawl on the snow plow banks of MN and pretend I was in the Artic fighting for survival!
It wouldn't be hard to put a cluch on that chain to make it alot safer without changing the looks.
Taryl, what is the contact information of South Hammond Charlie you used for getting parts??? Nice video Taryl. Thanks VF
Ya got sparks coming from the rotating auger. There must be something loose in there. You can see them at 35:40.
It's eating the concrete floor is all. : )
I have one just like I am going to be fixing up this summer.
Ain't no gas in it, mmhmm.
you would have to pay me $200 to take it away!!
maybe you can ebay it and get over $3K for it
like the vintage chainsaw you fixed!!!
Can't beat old technology. Tear down, clean, grease, reassemble, and adjust. Works 99% of the time.
Excellent video Taryl :) also worth for $200.00 and blow pest away for sure Lol 😆!
You must be mistaken....you mean Local Scammer Ronnie......First time I've seen one of those Lawn Boy machines ..of course in Florida you have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot.

I have to wonder what the auger speed is at full throttle on that goo gobbler !! Best keep Fluffy at a good distance !
P.S. I would buy the snow blower if I had a true need for the item. Hope all is well in Indiana. Peace grass rats.
That gas tank reminds me of the air cooled boat engines of the day.

When you pulled the flywheel I said that coil and points looks like a omc outboard coil then I Sean omc on the cover. Those coils are easy to find.
i like Lawn Boy because they really embraced the 2-stroke engine
outboard marine corp.
That Snowblower would look good in the entrance of a Applebee's
During the Ronnie walking through blizzard scene, I kept thinking " I bet he wanted to put a snowy green screen overtop and couldn't find one.
Am I wrong Ronnie? Junior?
An air filter just ahead of the carburetor would make sense if the intent was to actually use it.
Love your videos and really appreciate your method of explaining things in the hill billy language that I can understand.
Older lawnboys were 32 to 1 I recall? Some really old stuff 16 to one. Do modern oils let you run a 50 to one ratio?
Sparky the Snow Boy - Nice light show the sparks coming out the front and chute
also good for grinding glass jars LOL Love the Antique Hour now and then
Safety was always the last consideration. You could go squirrel or cat hunting.
@@andrewmantle7627 yeah..back in the day common sense was required ..now there's not much going around ..
Taryl Keep The Videos Coming. Thanks
That was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Such a great video! So entertaining, so educational. Thank you!
Love the lawnboy gas can in the background
What is the purpose of the angled screw in the briggs spark tester?
Know I know why my Lawnboy 824e snowblower was made by Toro. I never knew that Toro bought Lawnboy. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Best Video Yet! Really enjoyed Watching!
That lawn boy coil looks just like a omc Johnson outboard coil and points from a light twin series motor that are still available from sierra if your in a pinch again 😉
Very interesting Taryl. I would have given up on it myself, and I like Lawn Boys.
Dragging that thing on the cement is like fingernails on a chock board.
No plastic. Nowadays plastic parts are everywhere and it will break.
That thing is really in good shape.
