1985 Snapper 21 repower with Honda GX 160

[Snapperfreak]

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.

Gotta love those old Snapper mowers! As much as they are nice, I hate using them.

The mower in the last picture has what kind of motor? It looks a bit like a Briggs Quantum.

 

[Snapperfreak]

Last pic has the Briggs 3.5 max engine. Currently does not run though.

 

[Lawnboy18]

Thanks. Do you know what is the problem?

 

[Snapperfreak]

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...

Not bad for 25$! I'd definetly grab it also for 25$.

Finally got my new muffler guard and polished valve cover installed:

Wow that looks much better. Little details sure add up. Is that your daily driver or is that Honda in the background? HR-214?

 

[Myamada1230]

That is one of my daily drivers, my other main mower is a 2012 Honda HRX217HYA. I love the HRX, but it just doesn't bag quite as good as the snapper Hi Vac. The HRA215 in the background is a yard sale find I spent $50.00 on. All I had to do was rebuild the carb and it runs like a champ. I've got it on Craig's list right now for $175.00

Very nice. The HRX is the only mower I'd buy if I were to buy a new mower. My old HR-194SX and the 21500PC (Briggs) are the ones I usually grab. Although once the Honda/Snapper is running right I'll be using that often.
