Picked this one up at a nearby junkyard. The best part about it was that it was free.

Does anyone know if a 8235s push handle would fit on the 8228e ? And Scale21 do you still have that 8227 ? Thanks

They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

I'm 40. As a kid in the 1970s, I admired Lawn-Boys. Our neighborhood was full of them---they were the best mowers on the market at that time.Shawnlb said:

My granddad got me started , he has a 1973 19 inch D-600 . when I was old enough he would start it and I would mow till he would give me the shut it off sign and empty the grass catcher. That was in the early 80's and there were 10 lawn boys on the block. He had an earlier one that was lime green cause I found the block off plate to it I want to say about in the 60's model. I have been down hill ever since LOL.

i am 51 and been in the lawn biz since i was 19. i used lawn boys when i had my first biz in nantucket mass. i moved to fla and found i needed self propel due to the thicker grass and heat! it wasnt till the toro takeover that lawnboys adopted a self prop sys that would stand up to comm use . this is why i only have newer lawnboys. for me the toro take over was a good thing-till the demise of the dura-force that is!

The guy next door has a new lawn boy and loves it. He must he cuts 2 acres with it every week. Takes him 4 to 5 hours hours and 3 tanks of gas. I cut my grass, trim, wash two cars, and clean the tractor up and he's still going. I did get to use in once it was very nice. Had a Snapper and Toro over the years but never a lawn boy.
Okay, so since we're giving ages - I'm 50. As for Lawn Boys, I live in the country and have most of my life, except the 7 years I've spent in the Army. We don't necessary have lawns, but yards. I have about an acred and half at my house to cut, another acre and half at my mom's, about 2 acres at the church and my brother-in-law has about half acre, and I cut all of it. I used JD lawn tractors for the most part, but have 2 lawn boys to do the trim work and mow along the road. I think if it wasn't for LB's, I would probably go next with a Snapper.
