Got a few hours to knock out the last few mowers of the year. The JCPenny and a S21ZPN. Pics of the Penny rebuild in this thread..I honed it, new piston, rings, wrist pin, seals, flipped the reed plate..sealed it up after a good kerosene bath and wd40 blasts with compressed air @100 psi ..blade muffler bake etc, etc. This one went together easily.

Started and smootheed out well after 5 minutes. I love the Total Seal ring seat powder !! Great stuff. New compression 115 cold one pull-still needs to break in.!! :thThumbsU


On to the pics. The tank looks dingy in pics....but for some reason in person it looks very good. Hmmm.

I always did like those.
They were easy to put together at the shop.
Tank looks fine.
Is a VERY nice mower.
Good job !!!
Thanks Ron...the tank is very clean and green for some odd reason it deosn't photograph well in that light. Ah well....the new owner is chomping to get it.

Great work again GTP.

I honestly have to say I never liked seeing a JC Penny ID on a Lawn-Boy mower. I remember way back seeing the first ones in the stores and being a hard core LB owner it sickened me.
To me it was akin to putting a Kmart emblem on the back of a Corvette... No way!

great work George!!! You are a true pro! I agree about the design of the JC Penny. They are strange. But this one looks like it did when new! Great job. Thanks for the pictures

So penny for your thoughts, I think it's hideous and mean looking and would scare the grass straight. I believe those are some thoughts, just let me know when to come get it.:sorry1:
