A C19 indicates (to me) a [C]Commercial [19] 19" NOT 21"...You need the rest of the letters after the 19 to make any sense...

Your machine is a model 6252. The numbers you are reading are off the engine ID plate mounted on the cylinder fin. The C19 is the model number of the engine, C series engine. The 6252 commercial mower was available from 1966-1971. Your serial number makes it a '71. The correct location for your mower model number would be on a round metal plate that was simply glued onto the mower deck beneath the fuel tank. Ive got the 6253 with a missing ID plate too. Only reason I knew what mine was, the previous owner inscribed the model and serial into the back of the deck. Then again, the 6253 was a model all of its own for 1972 only. Would be great to see some pics of that mower. The 6252 is a rare one.

Thanks uhf1483!!! I'll post pics tommorrow (Fathers Day).

Mein Gott! Looka at that thing - it looks to be five years old! That would use the 16:1 mix, ja?

Wow! Was I off or what!? LOL Last time I try to speak out of my arse!!! LOL

Yup, 16:1, did a restoration on it about 10 years ago, was my Dad's who bought it new. Has been around the family but I'm the one who has maintained and looked after it since I was a kid.

I like using it better than my JS60.

Probably gonna strip and re-paint this winter.

Anyone know where I can get the steel adjustable wheels for this, one is about to break.

Also, the recoil doesn't alaways go all the way back in...should I just pre-wind the starter spring tension a bit?

Yes, I would clean the recoil and tighten the spring a turn. I MAY have steel LB wheels, which wheel are you needing and are you particular on color? Don't recall if the ones I have/had are red or green. Red, I think.

""I MAY have steel LB wheels, which wheel are you needing and are you particular on color?""

It's the back one, color doesn't matter.

Nice looking mower!

If you need it, there is a NOS short block for a C-series engine for sale on eBay right now. That's the first NOS C-series short block I've ever seen.

Well forgot to check on wheel today, maybe tomorrow.

mjage, I finally thought to check on the LB wheels. I have two rear ones. I thought I had a front also but don't find it. I will only sell them as a pair. I will try to borrow a digital camera to take a couple of pictures but may be a few days.

I appreciate your effort, but I'll try to find one locally as opposed to buying on line, shipping etc.

Thanks anyways!

I have an old 19" Lawn Boy that I would like to restore, but I cant be sure about the age as I can't find any way to ID it from the serial number. It's a Model #5247, and its SN is 9512761. It still runs great, and I was wondering what I might be able to sell it for. I would also like to know a little about the mower, what its horse power is, where I can find decals and parts, and if there is any place where you can buy Lawn Boy paint, or if you just guess at the color.
Thanks,
Jesse

Model #5247 was made from 1978 to 1982. Dupli-color Grabber Green is an exact match for Lawn-boy green, and is found at Walmart and auto parts stores.
