From the people I know who have actually had one (and now including you), They all loved them. Light weight, not as loud, and durability. I got mine used, I think it's date code is late 70's. The thing always ran good as long as the blade was kept sharp. I usually kept the lawn boy at the house and the Toro/sears#1/sears#2/Troy Bilt at the farm. The Sears uses Tecumseh engines which last typically 5 years.
With the exception of that one time I tried to be cheap. . . .Lawnboy has been great.
BUT Now I see that Lawnboy is using 4 stroke Tecumseh on two of their models. Different reviews have rated these as poor performers. They still have two models with the 2 stroke engines and I'm wondering if I should get one now before they disappear.
