I got this 1965 lawn boy in with a big lot of vintage lawn boy mowers. it sat outside underneath an overflowing rain gutter for atleast ten or fifteen years before I got ahold of it. its in pretty rough shape but it's all there. follow along as I try and breath new life into this old lawn boy. thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my videos. may God bless you.

Very, VERY glad that those horrible ten years are behind you. Many of us have walked that terrible road, some longer than others - certainly in my case. The overwhelming sense of relief and freedom - once sobriety sets in - is indescribable. Continued peace to you.

Your comment is spot on. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Paul was correct when he said for me to live is Christ to die is gain. He absolutely broke it off me and gave me a fresh start. Thank you so much for your encouragement. God bless you on your walk as well

Makes me happy seeing the older lawnboys being revived. I have a few myself, from the omc years up to when toro took over, wouldn't get rid of them for anything.

Knight, I went to church also this morning, no coffee though but I'm now home restfully responding to comments on my one day off. It's such a blessing. I never expected to have this sort of following and it's all brought about by the lord. All glory to him and a big thank you to you for watching. God bless you

I love those classic 1960's Lawn Boy's with the iconic shiny knob spinning intake fan screen. I remember seeing a few models of that era in action growing up in the 70's and 80's.

Thank you so much. I was honestly not sure what to do because I've tried starting others with that drill before and it hasn't worked. I guess the Lord gave that little drill some extra power to bring himself some glory. Appreciate you watching God bless.

My dad had one of those and he cut grass with it for 30 years, only had to do the points and recoil one time, he wore through a few sets of tires but man that thing would always start good and run good and the smell and sound was great. I think I need to find one now.

I have one of those I took it apart years ago. Sand blast deck paint it the son put non mix gas in it ruined it. I was driving down the street one day there was a box with a lawnboy engine in it nice cylinder. Is when I re did the mower. Must have been 15 years ago. Wife mows with a 21" 1977 brick top. Those sand color ones I believe around 67 or so. I still have that mower and several other lawnboys. 60s-70s
@gregsmowersandmore5878
@gregsmowersandmore5878 3 месяца назад
Mike that's a great story. Ita so cool that youve saved some and even cooler that your wife still mows with a brick top. Sadly I've made my share of mistakes and ruined a few myself. Never ran one on straight gas yet but I did set the governor wrong and blew one up and I've also cracked a flywheel on another. You've definitely got to have patience,common sense,and a little knowledge to work on these. Thank you for sharing and watching. God bless.

Awesome mower! Awesome job getting it purring again! That mower is definitely worth restoring. The hammerhead shroud was 1965 only. On a different note, looks like that garage door could use a dab of paint. 😂🤪🤪 God bless you Greg!

Ron, I have this mower sold to a friend already that will give it a good home and a good going through. As for the garage it is falling in and needs taken down and not safe to work in any longer. Just trying to get the time and money together to take it down. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. God bless.

We all have plenty of projects that need to be done, that seem like we'll never get them, but eventually it all does get done. Very happy to know that mower is going to see more "love". Those old L-B's are gold in my eyes. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos and sharing your testimony!

I can't say I see myself as young. I'm 40 so middle of the road I guess. I started around 16 and have worked on all sorts of equipment every from weed eaters to huge wheel loaders and mining trucks. I started this channel hoping to inspire the next generations to get interested in mechanics and the trades.it was the older generations probably like yourself who worked on hit and miss engines,model a and model t Ford's, muscle cars and the like that helped to teach me a lot of the old ways. Things that are pretty much lost today. Thank you for helping younger guys like me when we were learning. Thank you for your encouragement. God bless you.

Some say that cleaning the magnet and the coil doesn't change anything, but I have cleaned just those 2 things on a lawnmower that wouldn't start, and then it would run with no problem.

Corrosion always causes high resistance. Current can't flow well or at all if there's a lot. I've seen the same. It definitely helps to optimize the ignition energy. Thank you for watching. God bless.

Lawn boy lawns on a level cut lawn level cut lawn, for the levelest cut lawn you ever did spy take a lawn boy home and give it a try. - jingle from the early 60s. I sang that tune as I mowed 3 acres of grass with a lawn boy like the one in this video every week during the summers in the early 60s
