I have an older (80s?) lawnboy mower. The air filter cover is

Is there a source for cheap "doors"/covers for it?
Is there a replacement air filter assembly that won't disassemble
under evergreens?



The new filter cover will have a hole in it that a clevis pin goes
through to keep low branches from removing it. You should go to a
Lawnboy dealer and buy the oem cover and pin. Cheap aftermarket covers
will not solve your problem.

This is going to fit on a 20 - 25 year-old mower? I just went to a Weed
Eater
dealer for a part for a 15 year old machine, and they just snickered.

Yes, from 78 through the mid to late 90's.

It is not even remotely fair to compare Weedeater and Lawnboy. Weedeater
pretty much makes disposable bottom end products that change every few
years. Lawnboy makes high end mowers that are not at all disposable. The
2 cycle engines they produced remained pretty much unchanged for years.
Most of the popular parts are still available for the D series that were
built in the early 70's.
