Can he get it running? This thing is old and there's always problems finding parts for this vintage stuff so check it out and see if Taryl gets stumped - or if he can bring this ol' Snow-Boy back from the dead!

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.

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

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

My grandmother loved Lawnboy mowers. She had several over the years that I can remember. Never seen a Snowboy before.

@rayvoorhies7180 2 года назад

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.

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

@2packs4sure 2 года назад

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..

@waiting4aliens 2 года назад

Briggs used to have a 3'' tall hexagonal nut you would screw down on the threaded crank, you would screw it almost all the way down, strike it with a ball peen hammer and the flywheel would break loose. This was in the late 60's early seventies. Really enjoy your videos. thanks.

Can't beat old technology. Tear down, clean, grease, reassemble, and adjust. Works 99% of the time.

@bobhyde4793 2 года назад

I grew up with both a lawn boy and snow boy. We swapped the recoil from one to the other as the seasons changed. I think it was marked Iron Horse in top. Great watching your videos about new and old equipment.

@bobhyde4793 2 года назад

ours didn't have any skis but the tiny steel wheels in front, but it sure could blow snow

@bobhyde4793 2 года назад

I sure remember ours blowing further. funny what 50 years does for your memory

Made back when machines were versatile. Combination snowblower, wood chipper and concrete resurfacer.

@Sundog0811 2 года назад

Yea now they want to sell you 3 different machines that you have to replace every other year bc of bad build quality.

@jacquespoirier9071 Год назад

I restored an Evinrude Aquanaut, it is a surface compressor that is used for diving, it uses the Lawn Boy D400 engine and I've been faced with the same difficulties, I completely rebuilt the engine and the compressor. It have been a real challenge to find parts for that machine as it have been produced from 1966 to 1970 only so I've had to conjugate and fabricate some parts to succeed to bring back that machine to life. that video represents the difficulties to work on machinery that is out of production for a very long time very good video

@thedillestpickle 2 года назад

I love the old Lawn-Boy 2-stroke mowers. Those Gold Series really have an appetite for grass. Put in in 3rd gear and it pulls you for a run.

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.

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!!!!

@alext8828 Год назад

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.

@honklerton732 2 года назад

Really freaking cool old snow blower Taryl! Thanks for the upload. I'd totally want to buy it but I live where it NEVER snows (Phoenix). Maybe like once every 15-25 years - and even then it's only a quarter of an inch lol!

@mikeskidmore6754 2 года назад

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..

@imacmanx8562 2 года назад

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.

Nicely done Carol😮

@garymallard4699 2 года назад

i made a set of ski's for my 45 " Cub Cadet Man-Snowblower...it was hard to use before i got a layer of packed snow on my gravel driveway... down too low and digging as i turned...i tried wheels..which were ok straight but turning was worse..then made up the ski's out of 1" wide flat bar and bend them to match the bottom of auger frame....and welded a nut inside the frame and angle iron with a bolt and spacers..it installs in minutes and removes as quickly too...works great and turns perfectly on any surface...once i have a hard base i remove to clean lower to base... it should have had wider shoes from factory...

👍 AWESOME DOCUMENTARY for the "OLDIE but GOODIE" $ 200.00 should cover the parts, BUT the LABOR that went into that project, you ( earned ) every penny at todays shop rate,. You are dealing close to the red line for sure. Somebody is getting a real deal "COLLECTORS PIECE!!! AWESOME JOB / 👌😍😍😍😍😍

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!

@JeffreyStrader 2 года назад

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 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.

@walterbordett2023 2 года назад

Does anyone remember this early 60'ssnowblower? It was red and called a SnowBird. It had a Briggs and Stratton engine direct coupled to the second stage impellor. The wheel drive was connected by a chain drive to the front auger. There was a pull handle to de-clutch the wheel/auger drive. I don't remember reverse, and it only had one forward speed. The chute swiveled and bent manually. It was pretty good for the limited engine power. I think it was about 3 HP. Anyone remember these?
