Sorry to be blunt, but Lawn-Boy doesn't make *any* mower---Toro makes them and paints them green. For a 22" unit, look at the Toro Recycler.

Hope this helps.

That is blunt, indeed. The LB line includes a couple of green Toros along with some unique machines. At least they were unique until Toro started stealing them back and painting them red! I specifically refer to the Toro 'Super Bagger' which previously was known as the LB 10795. Whatever.
Yes, the Recycler is 22". LBs are 20" and 21".

Its Dupli-Color Ceramic Engine Paint - Grabber Green. This is for the 'chartreuse' or 'bright lime green' color, the same color as the current LBs. In the linked picture of my 'herd' as it existed last year, the 10201 on the right has a shroud which was painted with Grabber Green - the deck is original. You can see its about as close as you could expect. Now the 10201 and 10550 are long gone! Here is a link that might be useful:

Bade Installation on Lawnboy Insight 10685 Mower

saltdawg Thank you for your responses. Toro now owns Lawnboy so part numbers are the same, so yes the part does fit more than one mower. I agree it appears the Lawnboy does not have a key. The only thing I can think of is that the shaft on the engine may have a slight taper to it and when the spacer that goes inside the blade adapter (driver) exerts pressure on the adapter to keep it in place without slipping. I can't tell if the shaft is tapered since I don't have the mower at my house. I'll have a clearer picture when the new parts arrive that I ordered since the old blade adapter is pretty messed up. BTW the blade adapter on the unit does have the cutout for the keyway unlike the one on Ebay that showed it was welded closed. I ordered one with the keyway cutout present. Hopefully someone owning a Lawnboy 10685 can advise why the shaft keyway must align with the blade adpater (driver) when there is no key.

Hmmm...thought this was a lawn mower forum, not a Miss Manners forum. Well "Dad", perhaps you should spend more time w/your children & less time here making insipid remarks. Fyi, the kid who heled me move was also reimbursed w/a pretty nice 27spd Cannondale mtn bike, needing a bit of work, but not so much so as to prevent him from riding it 15 mi to my house & back for a week...I also bought him lunch every day. The mowers were his idea. Why don't I bring them to your place...might get your kids out from in front of the TV?

>"This post has no credibility because no where does the poster indicate just how old the machine is"That would be a good point in a different ÂvenueÂ. As I recall my follow-up post enumerated six points none of which expressed my displeasure because the mower crapped out after only _____ years. By proof of credibility, the information of how many times it was started, and how long it ran, or what the condition of the terrain it was used on, or if the proper gas oil mix was used should also be given as if I were asking the manufacturer for a refund. My original post did say that the manual was probably mouse chewed "under years of junk". I might have added Âalong with the dated receiptÂ, but in the absence of that I would say about six or seven years old (?) with very little use since the riding mower* always did the bulk of my grass cutting. But then, you sound like a company rep defending his source of income by asking for proof that mower wasnÂt everything a good American should insist a mower be. By your standard, many posts on this forum lack the credibility you require, so IÂm in good company; but the points I made are valid enough, and the mower did fail as described. Today I had occasion to visit our local big chain store and noted about six or eight shiny new lawnmowers on display. IÂd bet that since the cheapening of, and mass marketing to the consumer, that few of them will make it very far before they too need to be replaced. The cheapening of products was, and is, essentially part of the thrust of my original and follow-up posts. Since I hadnÂt numbered and spelled it out too, perhaps that didnÂt occur to anyone? But thanks for your input. You might suggest the bylaws of the forum be changed to require age-related credibility when describing failures of products. * I guess I shouldnÂt mention it, but IÂm still using my dadÂs Simplicity riding mower (model 700) that has to be about fifty years old. You can assume that information lacks credibility too.

Saxman, if Toro hadn't decided to downgrade the L-B brand to entry-level, box-store-only status, move the Insight Platinums to the Toro brand (as "Super Baggers"), and drop the commercial units, I'd agree with you wholeheartedly that L-B mowers are unique from Toro mowers. Unfortunately, for all practical purposes, L-B now is nothing more than a green, entry-level, mass market Toro. :(

While it is true that Lawnboy is really a brand of Toro, much Like Chevrolet is a brand of GM, that situation is common to many multi-brand companies. Whether an independent company called Lawnboy manufactured the lawnmower is irrelevant and the response does nothing to answer your question. Indeed the Lawnboy brand has been passed between various owners for decades.

Toro does make several 21 inch models in the Lawnboy and Toro Super Recycler and Super Bagger series. They also make mowers with 22 inch decks in the Toro Recycler series.

From 1971 to 1992 I was a Lawn Boy dealer. The Larsen-Olson company out of Minneapolis was my distributor...a real good outfit to work with. I sold a lot of mowers in those years and last week rebuilt engines on a 7265 and a 7086.
Late in 1991 the sales rep stopped by & informed me that Toro was buying Lawn Boy and they would be sold at fleet type stores & discount stores. I had sold about 60 new mowers in 1991 & he asked how many I wanted for my spring order. I replied, "ZIPPO"....& said, "Pat, the party is over." and now, nearly 20 years later the party is truly over. 'Real' Lawn Boy mowers are no longer manufactured. Being semi retired I do still work on several each week, but don't put in the 12-16 hr days I used to.

To answer the OP's question, no, there are no 22" Lawn Boy models.
