Thenty years is a lot for that item. Throw it away and get a new
machine.
NOOO!! That one is a keeper! It was one of the better ones Lawnboy built.
Cast aluminum deck, F-series 2-cycle engine with a cast iron cylinder
liner, needle bearings for mains and on the big end of the rod... The carb
wasn't much but it worked okay. If you decide to throw it away, throw it
my way. If it ever needs it, you can probably buy new rings , bearings and
a reed for less than $20 and rebuild the engine.

Really - I'm not familiar with 2 cycle mowers - but I did have several 2
cycle 3 cylinder Saabs that bragged about longevity because they ony had 9
moving parts. That was a crock. None of them lasted any where near half
what the 4 cycle motors were lasting. So I'll defer to your more related
experience on this one.
