Hey everyone I just wanted to drop by and introduce myself and say hello! I have been a reader of the forums here for awhile but I wanted to join and say hello. I must say I am probably more of a reader than a poster. I do enjoy reading the lawnmower section here. I just purchased my first home and needed a lawnmower. I have many other projects but I figured cutting the grass would be a good start. I have always been a huge fan of the Lawn-Boy. Pretty partical to the older models. I had one as a young kid for my lawn jobs. I believe it was from the early to mid 70's (white top, magnesium deck). My mom has one that is from about the late 60s. So I grew up on them. Anyhow I just was browsing the local paper last week and on a whim I picked up a 8073 model in great shape. Bagger, mulcher, and self-propelled from a middle aged gentleman in my area, He threw in an extra bag and a few other goodies. I paid 75 bucks. I think it was a good deal. I have a question though. Is this model a commercial series? I didn't get any owners manual with the mower. The reason I ask is I have seen a couple going on ebay just like mine and they are listed commercial. If mine is a commercial what does mine have that the standard model would not have had? I have tried looking this up online but have come up with no answers. Also that brings me to my last question. Can anyone recommend a few good sites on the web for looking and reading about some of these old vintage machines? (Lawn-Boy in particular). Thanks and I look forward to getting to know some of you in the future!
