I might use my old lawnboy push mower this year for grass cutting. I’ve been walkin one hour per day for the last 4 months and feel like I could use it. Get something done and get the walk in.
Any way cleaned it up today and remembered that things had to be greased. It’s been 27 years since it was used full time. Has been used a little to do the ditch and under a tree the odd time for the last few years. I bought it 32 years ago. And it was used when I bought it. So I don’t know how old it is. But I figure it’s about 40 years old. Maybe.
It is assisted drive model. Has two rollers that push on the rear drive wheels to make it go. If you want.
The two drive rollers have a screw in them. Take it out, put grease in, put the screw in and turn until grease comes out around axle shaft. Turn the screw in once or twice a year a half turn or so to lube axles.
The posi rear end has a grease nipple in it. I put one shot in. Don’t want to much in, will only squeeze out when the rear end heats up. I have not greased these things in many years. I also lubed the drive shaft. It wears. Had to bronze it once and file of. Been good ever since. But at the time I bought a new driveshaft, just in case. Never put it in yet. Had all the wheels off and clean shafts, put axle grease on stuff and put them back on.
I sure any of you that has one of these would know all this stuff, just thought I’d mention it.
Didn’t know where to post this. Please move it if need be.
