I took my Granddaughters mustang to a muffler shop this morning. There set a LB,sentential mower. a 76. Davey said it hasnt been started in 20 years.
I will take a pic when I go back to get the stang. I might talk him out of it. I still have a 17 inch and a newer LB
How much money should I spend on a purchase? 50 dollar's ,maybe?

If it's the red/white/blue model and it looks to be in good shape, $50 would be a great price. They do go for much more, but most of those are running. If it's been sitting for 20 years, you might have a bit of lubing/cleaning to do, but it would be a great conversational piece, or a fantastic mower as well!

Aren't those Bicentennial models some of the rarest Lawn-Boy's out there?

 

[DrBailey]

It is the red,white and blue, with star's. electric start and self propelled.
It might clean up ok, but it's dirty right now.
David didn't get the car done today ,so I will check it out more tomorrow.
junebug, I really dont know much about them. I seen one like it on MTF.

 

[Brad]

They are pretty rare, but do regularly turn up. Really look nice when cleaned and/or restored.

I've never seen a Bicentennial mower in person, but if I ever do I'll be sure to snap to and salute!

It's possible that I will get the LB. David ask me today if I might want it. I said SURE! I mean sure.

Sure = $50

SURE! = $75

SURE!!! = $100

You can do the Yaaa-Hoooos after you give him the money and are pushing it down the street heading home!

I went late last night to get my Granddaughters car. He wouldnt take any money for the work he did.
He said,quote " I will give you the mower in a few day's, no ,I dont want any money for it. I will call you"
I appreciate that, He said I did a lot over the years for him. We Have helped each other a lot for about 30 years .
we just wait, I will update when I hear from David.

 

[DrBailey]

The phone call came today, "Come get the LB!" It's not as nice as I have seen on my computer, starter Bendix is bad, hasnt been started for 20 year's. It has been stored inside a garage.
I will tear into it soon.

OK, a new project for when the holidays are over. That looks like a nice one. That will be a dream for trimming around the property. Have fun and keep us up to date.

The patriotic theme goes right along with your tow truck. You can set that mower on your truck and go to parades.

Don't forget the heavy chain tie down.
