Ian,
While I know you are not selling the Royal Commercial at this time, could you please read to me (and put up pictures of) the nameplate that contains the model, serial and other specs.? To find it, there are two (2) locations: 1. For models made 1970 or earlier, the nameplate can be found riveted on the underside of the motor unit between both sets of wheels. 2. For models made 1971 or later, it can be found applied to the back side of the nozzle casting by the front wheels. Thank you, Ben (KirbyClassicIII) |

Ian,
To speak further of the Clarke 153 nameplate, Royal should have added a "C" to their model number to distinguish it from its own 153 (i.e., 153C) - the "C" stands for "Clarke." The company name should also have read "CLARKE-GRAVELY CORPORATION, MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN 49441" since this is obviously a Clarke product. ~Ben |

Ian,
The date code is August 1976, as I had said earlier. Royal implemented that kind of date code system in 1971, but until you get to 1977 you have to read it this way: "67H" is read like this: 6 = calendar year 1976 7 = calendar year decade (1970s) H = calendar month August So, again, until 1977 it was formatted as year/decade/month. For 1977 they changed it to a two-digit year code (with the last two digits of the calendar year as such), followed by month, lasting through early October 1978 (example: "78G," for July 1978). Then, starting later in that time frame, the date code format changed to month/year, again with the last two digits being that of the last two of the calendar year (example: "L78," for November 1978). It had been unchanged since, even after switching to computer programming in March 1985 which changed the serial # format to something like this: D85G001234 (D85 is April 1985). ~Ben |

I also collect Lawn-Boy mowers. I have 8, with the oldest being a 3100 from 1957 and the newest being a 10323 from 1998 (I think). I also have a 3057, 8229, 7210, and 3 that I can't remember the model #'s right off hand. My 3057 has the same engine as your 5024, but has an 18" deck.
There are 123 vacs in my collection, mostly vintage, of various makes and models, including a 153 Royal from the late 40's or early 50's, pictured here. But yes, you can collect vacuums AND Lawn-Boys! I am within reasonable driving distance to Cleveland, but it looks like the only vacs that you are parting with that I would be interested in, I already have. But hang in there, I'm sure someone will step up and take them off your hands. Jeff |

Jeff, Ian and all,
I have one vintage mower: a 1984 Toro model 20672 walk-behind rear bagger with blade-brake clutch (BBC). What that feature is, when you start the engine the blade will not turn until you engage the bail bar; let go of the bail and the blade will stop, but the engine will continue to run - useful if you want to move things out of the way of the mowing path or to empty the bag between mowing sessions. And for Jeff: do you wish to find the same Clarke-badged, red-painted model 153 that Ian has? His is a 1976 model. ~Ben |
