- Video of my 1962 LawnBoy Quietflite model 5251 running and mowing. This was the first start in 3 months, and it needs some carb tuning and adjustment to get the correct mixture, but it still runs OK and will mow fine. Nice to get it out and put it to work where it belongs.
Beautiful lawnmower and I love the color. I would be interesting in buying one if anyone in SoCal has one for sale.
I like how they enclosed the motor in a fiberglass housing. It looks much more sleek that way and I like the “quietflite” logo with the two boomerangs on the sides.
That thing is "COOL", I love when someting old is re-born, nice work ! Beautiful pain job !
I love Lawn-Boy mowers and also collect them but I still don't understand the logic in these models...........air cooled engine inside of a box I would think these would run hotter than other models
anyway....very nice Lawn Boy
Really Awesome 😎👍🏼🇺🇸
kool video
i have a 2 stroke 10601 and 2 lawnboy 22270 /22271 with honda gsv
they have come along way
Very nice Lawn-Boy.
Nice Lawn Boy! If you wanted it quieter, line the inside of the shroud with .75 Accumat. A quick goole search will find it. I use it in the interior of my car and it is truly amazing. Come to think of it, I have lined my window air unit with it also.
I have the lawn boy model 10685 good mower also
Nice👍👍👍👍
The quietflite model sort of personifies the advertizing strategy of the time. Vacuum cleaners, cars, all sorts of appliances were frequently touted as ultra quiet...and I think the covered engine is probably just such a gimmick. An appeal to a different kind of buyer...a woman perhaps who does the lawn mowing for the family. Women don't like noisy things as a rule--we have more sensitive hearing.
I don’t think women’s ears are more sensitive than men’s. I’m a man and find the sound of most power equipment to be obnoxious,especially leaf blowers. Any intelligent person operating a mower or any such loud equipment should wear earplugs. The sound is loud enough to damage your hearing.
I like the blue better then the green.
