Okay. Here it is, in all it's ugly glory. Had it not been free I woulndn't have taken it. The PO had handle mounts welded on because the deck broke out from the years of kid use. Still runs and mows but it's no beauty queen.

Wow! Very cool! I didn't know that Lawn-Boy made mowers with that style deck for JC Penney.

According to the Lawn-Boy parts viewer, that engine is original to the 0425.....

And, it is a model year 1985. Here are the product features from the Lawn-Boy parts viewer. Strang, it says tat the 0425 is equiped with capstan self-propel! (How is that possible with that Briggs!?)isgus: Must be a typo. That 0425 of yours, knightrider, seems original, except for the handle modification. Another rare Lawn-Boy!

Maybe a Briggs with a side PTO?

I don't see that on the parts viewer or knightrider's mower. And how could a side PTO have capstan?:hide:

Its ugly, but kinda strange and seems few have survived, or rusted out long ago. I hope to at least mow with it once.....

Thanks for the info Timber.

No problem knightrider, I wouldn't mind having one of these myself.....

i just noticed that the pull rope used to be on the left side of the handle. and that the recoil is in the correct position. Very odd. That must mess up the rope pretty quick

EXACTLY!!!! Seems like something craftsman would do or Murray......but LB, come on.

Its missing the correct LB rear wheels, Im not sure it matters to me that much.....maybe if I find some cheap/free.
