pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted March 5, 2017 New addition to the collection from deepest Norfolk 1965 Lawn Boy Loafer, can either be used as a ride on tractor or with the front axle removed will attach to a Lawn Boy mower, so it can be a mower pusher Apparently only 6 of these were imported to the UK. The previous owner has a restored one and works for E.P. Barrus who are modern day Lawn Boy importers and he has researched its history Apologies for the poor photos, but it has been raining all day, I'll get it out of the trailer and get some better photos when the weather improves 7 the showman, DougC, S1g and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryt 281 #2 Posted March 5, 2017 Looks cool, I did see one of these for sale around a year ago but was a little too much for me. Do you have the mower part as well for it? 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate it would, the mower's not self propelled so its engine would drive the blades while the Loafer pushes it along 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
