Nice mower. There's that ugly dark green paint again. These decks, around here anyway, seem to all lose their paint pretty bad eh?

Don't think it's worth $95, to me. Maybe if I was just in the market for a mower because I didn't have one. I don't have one with this shroud, and I like them.

It's got those treaded tires, steel wheels.

Whaddaya think? http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-garden-lawnboy-mower-W0QQAdIdZ147361878

I fixed the link to go to the ad rather than just the pics. As best I can tell, those wheels/tires are the same tread pattern as my other steel, greaseable wheels/tires.
EDIT:
It's a 19" mower, so that automatically makes it a bit more rare/valuable. I'd say it's a 10400 pr 10401. It's not a rip off and it isn't a deal. It doesn't have very good flip potential but if you need a mower and this works is it should it will do the job. How's that?

I think you're right. If I needed a good mower...

ad says 20". Isn't it more likely a 19"? If it's really a Commercial like I think the recoil says...would it be 19" (or 20")?

Sorry, I edited my post. It's a 19. If it were a staggered deck comm it would be a 21" unless it was one of the old (60's) ones with a c engine (which this is not). No 19" comms made. All the four square (non staggered) are 20's.

So it appears to be pieced together then.

Waiting for a model number off the deck from the seller.

In any event, not for anywhere near $95.

You have to watch out for the word "commercial". Many sellers toss that word out there to describe their mower even if it is a residential model but has the "commercial grade" engine.

Someone on CL here is trying to sell a V and they list it as a commercial engine. Kind of misleading IMO.

Yeah, I understand that. I've also seen tags that say "Commercial", and "Commercial Grade Engine".

Owner says the deck tag reads 5124 ('77, '79, '81, '82). Well, here's one example of a 5124 http://www.mytractorforum.com/showthread.php?t=87514&highlight=5124 found an ad referencing this model number and '82 model with the same shroud as linked here.

The engine says S19ZPM

Lawnboy.com, Parts Tree and etc. don't have any parts diagrams.

Gonna pass. I'd take it for $10-$30, but not $95.

you are right on the wheels. They were just painted. I was correct at saying thats an 80s deck with a newer engine on it though
