Lawn Boy Mulch Fan - Remove when Side Discharge ?
Comments (3)Rdaystrom and Saxman - Thanks for the help. I will leave the mulch fan on for side discharge use. I have an older aluminum deck F engine model with the side bag setup that I use when bagging (only when bagging leaves in the fall). Thanks Harold...See MoreLawn-Boy Insight Series
Comments (2)Keeping debris out of the wheel gears is a great feature. I have pondered weather to put grease on these gears as it holds grit. I have a lot of Spanish Moss in my yard and will pull it out of the trees to mulch it up. The mower does a great job of turning this to powder but sometimes a strand will get caught around the drive axle. I've smoked a few belts because of that....See MoreLawn-Boy Commercial push mower
Comments (6)I've patched my C21ZPRA magnesium deck with straps of aluminum from the hardware store. Most places I used flat head screws with nuts but in a few spots I couldn't drill through the housing, so I used self-drilling screws simply as self-tappers. So far it's working well. Finally managed to slightly bend the crankshaft extension. I'm able to set the blade so it doesn't vibrate. I replaced the spark plug when I was having starting problems last year, but the old plug is fine. Parts prices are insane. If they actually have any decks left, no one is going to pay over $500 for one. Let it go for $50, maybe someone would buy it. $275 for a crankshaft? Out of sight. Guess they're attached to this stuff; don't want to sell any? No one around here can weld magnesium. The stuff burns intensely if it is not welded with the right equipment and skill. Easy with the right stuff, mainly the correct filler rod and TIG, like aluminum. A shop that repairs old VW crankcases (magnesium, with some aluminum and zinc for strength) should be able to weld a Lawn-Boy magnesium deck. CO2 or water makes Mg burn more intensely as both have oxygen in them. Maybe if I ever get back out to Oregon with the mower I can get the VW specialist next door to my father in law's house to fix the deck. For some reason I typed "1981" when it should have been "1991."...See MoreNeed Lawn Boy model 10272 information
Comments (3)It takes the regular 'Tri-Cut' blade furnished on all late LB 2-cycles - no special 'mulching blade' is recommended - stick with OEM. It should also have a 'mulch fan' mounted under the blade (blade goes on first, then mulch fan). The 'Silver Series' has a steel deck with bagging available by installing a bagging kit which includes the chute that replaces the mulching plate in the top front of the deck. Side discharge is available with a 'blank' plate, and of course the mulching plate blocks the discharge chute. Wash and re-oil the air filter. Use oil at 32:1 (8 oz/2 gal with Lawn-Boy oil, if still available). Post questions if it doesn't run right - I don't have one anymore but I remember the things to check/adjust. Typically they are set a little lean for EPA concerns, which of course is not good for running or longevity....See Morelawnboystu
