Hello everyone. I am a long time Lawn Boy fan and owner since 1980. My Lawn Boy model 5247 was purchased about 34 years ago at a hardware store located about 2 blocks from my house. It cost me $231.00 which was a lot of money for a mower back then. It was the the first and only new mower I ever purchased. I still have it and I still use it. My lawn has never been cut by any other lawnmower and never will as long as I am able.
This last spring I got bit by the old Lawn Boy collecting bug(a perplexing disease) and now I have a total of three (5247, R7070, a work in progress 8255). My favorite is the R7070 that I found this last spring by chance in a warehouse. I spent some time and money reconditioning it and the reward for my efforts is a wonderful running and beautiful looking machine. Some people think I'm a little strange because I enjoy cutting grass. The combination of 2-stroke exhaust and fresh cut grass is what does it for me. And it also helps to hear that nice gentle burbling sound of a vintage Lawn Boy.
I will try and upload some pictures of my machines for everyones enjoyment later.
