1969 Lawn Boy 5238

That style of mower was the type I mowed a lot of lawns with back in the day. Great find. Can’t believe it was only $40. Love the sound it makes.

I have one too I picked up a couple months back. I'm excited to get it going this spring. Awesome video!

Very nice find for $40.00. Love the sound of the old Lawnboys. Assume you are running 16:1 gas/oil mix unless the engine was converted to a 2 ring piston and upgraded needle bearing conecting rod. Also you should only have to prime that mower 2 to 3 times. Any more and the primer assembly should be replaced. The primer has a very tiny seal which is a known fail point on that style vintage Lawnboys. I have loved the Lawnboys since using them as a teen some 50 years ago. I currently have 14 ranging from 1968 through 1982 and use 5 of them weekly mowing 7 lawns in the neighborhood.
