    Snapper RE200: Seal Foam P/N 1709055SM?

    Adhesive not the problem- Foam is mangled -no way it can be reinstalled to perform as intended. Needs to be original dimensions, particularly ht, to seal when the seat is lowered. Interested to hear any perspective on the importance of replacing this foam seal.

    Would you buy the same mower again?

    YES. 2007 Snapper RE200 (13 HP hydrostatic rear engine rider, 30" cut). EZ to use, mows great, and has been completely reliable with annual maintenance -never required service other than replacing a front tire due to sidewall rot. Cost $2,150: U get what U pay for!
