Thanks for watching👍🏻👍🏻

i have one of these 1hp power products engines Aswell. they require 16-1 gas mixed with Sae 30 motor oil you will kill it if you run anything else the old lawn boys are the same way.

Always wanted to see a 50s-60s lawnmower, slightly disappointing that it lacks any tail finds but very cool looking regardless heh

The engine resembles a lawnboy from the 50s

Yes a drill motor and socket for starting the motor, . How I start my lawnboy 2 stroke. DO NOT USE A IMPACT GUN

Even with a lighter engine and aluminum deck at that thickness the mower would be heavy. Not to mention the exhaust was truly awful. You have to remember that back then they were burning leaded gas. They don’t make them like they used to, and that isn’t always a bad thing.

I get the nostalgia and attachment to a family heirloom, but yikes!

Take the carb off and clean it and she"ll run i bet.

Probably made by Lawn Boy. Craftsman didn’t make anything.

Dirty points.

Cool old mower they don’t make them like that anymore. Now it’s all plastic.

Oh yeah! Our family used to have one just like it. My dad used regular motor oil in the gas instead of 2-stroke oil so it used to leave a blue cloud behind it. I operated this myself when I was about 7 years old.

I love the turbine fan

Really cheap lawnmower’s still require you to unbolt the wheel to adjust height

Congrats for trying to revive an old gizzer bravo!

nice classic mower
