This was actually the beginning of the end. This steel deck imposter was what got lawn boy in the big box stores because the price was close enough to the mass market brands to move a lot of units. My family had one back in 1990. Heavy, wheels hard to adjust, and it rusted out quick. The thing disintegrated around the F engine. The predecessor to the Silver series, another Toro disaster.
My ride. www.pbase.com/tsmeyers/image/88240035. (Not sure if that link will work.) 2006 Mustang GT. 'Tis broken at the moment. Spun the main bearing. Need a new motor. :(
Nope. The 5.0s all have the plumbing and wiring on the wrong side. Would have to redo all that. Would cost me near as much as a new motor to do that. So will be staying with the 4.6. The old 4.6 was pretty fast though... fastest I hit confirmed was 133. Still had pedal, but the front end was getting floaty!
Dunno if this will stick... but that's what was left of my '94 after getting hit. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2993457014228&set=a.1142104171564.17960.1796271395&type=3&theater
Good job, just got one this weekend and also want to restore it.
I did luck out and got one with the aluminum deck.
Awesome video! That rust-oleum green looks like a perfect match! Love the sound of those 2 cycle engines, just great!
14:02 Wow, a lawnmower with tele-kinetic start! You said "I'm going too start it" and it instantly ran without pulling a cord or turning a key!
You did a superb job restoring this LB!
Thanks, it was a fun project. Wish I'd kept it. Was a good little machine
This is the exact model I have $30. Works like new. But doesn’t look nearly as good as yours. Now I have a project!
Love what you did with it. Looks beautiful.
That's cool as hell
I had one just like this. Lasted 20 years. The deck rotted out unfortunately :/ great reliable mower
I have an L21ZPNB that was just given to me, deck is rusty, painting flaking, I got it running, I may paint it
Paint stripper definitely better, that mower looks damned awesome though.
At video time of 4:14 did all that grass collect on the muffler baffle?
Damn the link! I'll try to shoot the photo to you on Twitter
mine takes five pull in spring from sitting in winter
You need a hotrod, dude. :)
Check if paint is gas resistant. Let me know. Thanks.
Will you use that or is it just a for show thing cause it is in unbelievable condition now
paul spencer I sold it... wish I hadn't
you better get me another mower or i am calling police
That must be one of the last LBs before Toro bought the brand and ruined America’s BEST push mower.

Nice! I'm a huge mustang fan. Had a '88 GT in high school that was massaged a little. Coyote 5.0 drop in it pretty easily?

I had a '94 Mustang GT prior. But got dinged real good by a drunk driver in 2002. Killed my car and didn't do me much good either, I'm afraid.
