Killing some time this morning my son and I stopped by the thrift
shop just to look...By the entrance out on the sidewalk sat 3 push
lawnmowers...with one of them being a LAWN BOY Model 7264 Push mower
complete with 2 side discharge plates (1 green, 1 Brand new never
used black), a bagging chute, ORIGINAL BAG and the support rod!!! I
was psyched!!!
The tag stated $50.00 but by looking at this unit you can tell it
was left outside for quite a few years...the handle bar is rusted
but the plastic grip is 100% perfect...rust stains running down the
deck whose paint is so chipped and faded it will need to be redone...
I asked if they would take $30 for it and she looked at the $50
price tag and said, "It's outside; you can have it for $25.00...PLUS
we have coupons that states if you spend $25.00 you get an
additional $5.00 off so you can have it for $20.00..." Apparently
they were having a 1 day sidewalk sale today only and I TOTALLY
lucked out and stopped for the first time ever there today...So I
paid $21.30 (w/tax)!!!
Took the mower to the truck and put some gas in the fuel
tank...pulled the starter cord a few times and...he ROARED to
life!!! I was ecstatic!!! The motor alone was worth the money but
with a little love he can be returned to his once former self...
So look in thrift shops...
