HR-215HXA MZAM-6062356. When I first picked this mower up a year ago the transmission would sometimes not engage. I’d push the lever forward and nothing, then a few seconds it would go. Other times it would operate just fine. An intermittent problem. Took it to the shop and they replaced the...

This trimmer I bought used a few years ago. Had the crab cleaned and replaced the fuel lines, filter and air filter. It runs great and the idle screw is set so that the head does not spin while at idle. But afte using it for a few minutes and set it down to idle the rpms have increased enough so...

I bought my srm2100 new almost 20 years ago. It's the only item out of all my equipment that was purchased new. It's always been well maintained and just used at home. But a frequent problem, even when it was relatively new, was that the cylinder would tend to flood with fuel making it...

Here are pics of mine with a Briggs 4hp

Not yet but I do know the recoil needs a new spring at least. Insure the carb needs a good cleaning but it's last in line in my lineup. No idea when I'll get to spending time and money on it but it was a model I've been looking for for awhile now so for $25 I grabbed it. Here's a better pic...

Haha thanks and thanks! I don't have much mechanical knowledge to bring to the table, I'm really more of a collector. Finally after almost a decade I've found pretty much all the ones I've been looking for. Some long travels at times to get some but worth it in the end.

...but since my 185 (and other two WRs) reside in this recently acquired vintage display rack they won't see much use. So the Honda and Briggs are my go-to along with the old Honda HR-194.

Thank you, yours as well. Very clean and that Honda engine was a great idea. Luckily the shaft size on mine wasn't an issue as it came off another older snapper self propelled mower, the deck was in terrible shape but this engine is great. Just needs carb cleaned but it bolted right up. Got the...

Here's mine I just finished assembling. Took a non-commercial deck that had a dead Tecumseh TVS-90, added the commercial handlebars, brackets and straps and put on a GXV-120.

I found the part you need if you still need it

Test. Is this pic visible?

Here's my latest edition: not a snapper! Honda HR194 with the GXV120 engine. Got it from the original owner's son. Here's a few pics and a few of the collection.

Well I finally found what I've been looking for. A good-running original 21500PC. Drove a couple hours to get it. Deck was junk but engine was good so I transplanted it onto my comm deck that was minus an engine. This minor project all worked out.

Ok those three bolts (two on side one on top) are what will detach the entire rear axle and handlebars from the deck. Then remove the bracket holding the disc drive stuff. The pusher deck will have the holes on top of the deck behind engine to bolt that to.

My two. SRM-2100 and SRM-2400

Here's my latest find, an old briggs 5hp I/C for my commercial deck that was missing an engine. Found it this weekend for $25. Missing the shroud and it needs the pulley and blade adapter on the shaft but I already have the shroud on order from eBay. Got it from the guy I bought my BBC snapper...

Snappers are great. Older ones came with three different 2cycle engines: wisconsin robin, Tecumseh and briggs. By far the wisconsin robin is the best, usually referred to as bulletproof. Long lasting, dependable, cuts through serious grass. Only downside is parts are hard to come by, especially...

.....and a couple more. I've been busy lately building this.

Since we're on the subject of old snappers I'll just get the ball rolling!

Thank u for the compliments. Yes it sure does free up space. ...oops one more. Got the thatcherizer hung up and made room for the edger too. Hope everyone's weather let's them mow soon!

Ok here we are. Very basic but serves the purpose. My garage is about 10'x40' so the back is all mower stuff and the front is now clear to park in.

...i made it to a big orange box store for the materials...I have my weekend project!

Just added a second trimmer. SRM-2400, 23.6cc. Runs great. Was missing the guard so I ordered a new one and put that on, new plug and primer bulb too. Noticeably stronger than my 21.2cc SRM-2100. Was thinking of buying a new one but nope, I like the old stuff.

Ok I'm using this stuff from now on. Yes it's pricy and you're all probably typing away about how it's a waste of money but I only go thru maybe 2 gallons of gas and a gallon of mix per season. Engineered 92-octane, full synthetic oil in mix, ethanol-free. Comes in 40:1 too. $6 for mix $23 for...

Here's the only echo I own. SRM-2100, bought it new in march 1998. Got it at the Home Depot where I worked at the time, being young I didn't think to buy it from a shop. Saw them everyday I was there and when I bought my first house I bought a good trimmer. It still runs great but I had the...

Nice lawnboys! I wish I could find an old brick top but they're so rare around here. Good collection there. Haven't done too much this winter but here's a few pics! There's the 1987 commercial 21500PCR I picked up, the 1983 21401P I got and cleaned up and my 1979 21500PC that I put an '80s-style...

Here we go...one of my NOS bags. For display only haha!

I'll take a look at the YBravo next time I'm at the shop. I used to see them frequently with the landscapers but don't see them around much lately. Ok got the starter clutch all cleaned. Starts and runs now after a few pulls but won't stay running more than about 15-20 seconds max so should...

Had a couple hours tonight to work on it so I cleaned it up some. Took off the engine and cleaned all under it and on too of the deck where it mounts to. Still need to take the shroud off and clean in there but this must've been kept indoors most or it's life. Very little fading on the frame. A...

Found this on cl a few weeks ago for $45...and 1-1/2 hours away from me so didn't think much about it. Yesterday the price dropped to "make offer" so I offered $20 and he took it. Drive up to get it, a nice drive through farm lands and fields. Really nice older couple, the mower was his fathers...

How's this? The lighting is a little better here.

Is it the smaller idler pulley that was left off? If there's no tension on the belt that's probably it. Hope these pics help u some.

That's an amazing deal. I've seen units like that here for several hundred. I too found another 21500PC last weekend. '81 model with a newer honda gxv160 that runs great. The deck needed a bit if attention though, I sacrificed my '82 21350PS for the rear axle and drive parts and I'm trading the...

Ya I like those old basic 3.5 vertical pull briggs. My 1982 21350PS has one, not original though. Original was key-start only, no recoil but it died soon after original owner (from whom I bought it last year) bought it. It was replaced with a non-key-start recoil only engine so I removed allnof...

Welcome, and very nice trio. My favorite is the older BBC. Hard to beat those WR 2cycles. Here's mine.

Ok, here are some better pics. Here u can see the arm that holds the pulley. This is where the clutch cable attaches to. I'm still assuming your mower, although newer than any of mine, has basically the same rear drive system. I know nothing about the front drive models. So, the adjustable...

Actually, this photo might work. Right where the handlebar connects to the deck you'll see that gray piece of metal just to the left of it, above the axle. That piece has the pulley that the belt goes around attached to it. The clutch cable attaches to that piece, towards the front. You have to...

Picked these up recently. The BBC Tecumseh I got at our local flea market for $120. A bit more than I usually pay but it's in really great shape and it's the first BBC I've come across so I had to get it. 1986 model 21402P. The other is a 1989 21355P with a 4hp briggs. The engine needs some...

Current fleet. And yes, room for more.

Now this is my '79. I love it so much better. I wound up just parting n out all the non-painted parts from the '88.

Here's the '88 I painted. Did it last summer.

Here's all three WRs.

This ought to spice up the snapper forum. My latest find, and for all intents and purposes the one to complete the collection, was this 1986 21R00PC that quite literally fell into my lap. It got abandoned at the mower shop (I really didn't ask questions but that's what usually happens) and they...

2-1/2 feet of snow sounds fun. What part of the country are u in? This is my little trailer. Since the deck and walls are all wood building and attaching some of those things wouldn't be too hard.

http://images.craigslist.org/00L0L_50ijqHMcYOA_600x450.jpg Ok who's in Kentucky?!?! This is awesome!

Yep I like those old verticals. I think snapper stopped using those when they had to add the safety handle in 1983. U couldn't really squeeze that handle and pull straight up on the recoil. I have one mower with that engine, it's a 1982 21350PS. Good mower. So I got a good pair of 19s there and...

5x10 is a good size. Not too big or small. I don't mow commercially but I've needed a utility trailer for awhile since I have a Tahoe and no way to haul anything big. Last year I found a 4x8 flat trailer on cl for $200. Not the harbor freight model, more heavy duty and all welded joints. Last...

I was browsing cl this morning and found this under the barter heading. I traded an old 19" LCD TV for it. The date code on the 3hp I/C engine is 1985. I think it's the original engine. This thing is in excellent shape. It's amazing. It started right up when I went to pick it up but it wouldn't...

Somebody mention a trailer? Found this on cl this morning buried down a few pages. It's in near perfect shape too. Craftsman dump trailer, 48"x30". Only $40. So I took the tires/wheels off the dead rer axle and swapped them on. Well I got one on so far...didn't realize the left and right wheel...
