Up the street from my house is Big Dick's Rod Shop.
Dick has a 1957 3100 for sale. I haven't had a chance
to look it over but it looks complete and original.
The round badge is in pretty good shape also.
It has been stored in a garage for twenty years.
More to follow...

Better hurry, yoiu just told the whole world where it is!

I am only about 45 minutes from Boardman, Ohio. You better hope you get it before I do!

I have located a 1956 Lawn Boy...either a 3000 or 5000. Looks like new. The local dealer keeps it in a closet in his shop. I have been trying to buy it for years, but he won't part with it.

Nope. You're right. It will need gone over.

Very nice, that data plate looks new. Are going to restore this one?

The temptation is great but, no, I'm not going to be buying this.
I'm doing this as a public service. :howdy:

The blade was on upside down on my Quietflite when I got it...and it still cut just fine, somehow. How much do they want for that 3100?
