Hey guys, I recently acquired a 70's vintage 2 stroke Lawn Boy mower that has a bad coil. I was going to order one and then I thought I might check with you hoarders (Read: Jim ) and see if one of y'all had one sitting on the junk pile.

I was quoted $75 at the parts house which does not seem unreasonable. I got it in trade for some machine work I did on a neighbor's Harley so I don't have much in it. Would really like to get it going, but if I don't the deck will make one helluva bonfire…..:feel_good:

I can't help on that, but will say I seen one the other day at a auction. The guy took the motor off and mounted a ice chest to the deck pushing it down the rows selling water for a dollar. His business model had a low overhead.

I am pretty sure those are just aluminum decks. I have welded a few; I'm pretty sure they are not magnesium.

Some are stamped magnesium Dave and some are not and are still mag decks. They also had aluminum decks.

Here is a cool picture from last weekend. We milled up some pine cant's for the races at the up coming fair and I hauled them home on my old 47 Dodge 2 ton truck. It was a fun ride.

I see you like wheelhorses Steven, I wanted to get one recently but when I came across this MF10 Massey Ferguson I couldn't resist.

Yesterday I was torching some aluminum fuel tanks off a semi. You know that aluminum doesn't cut as well as steel. But it cuts.

Don't worry I drained most of the fuel on the ground under the tanks before I started.

I am contemplating undertaking the posting of pics on a thread here.....
