I have been reading alot about different brands of boots for the trans some cheap genuine Snapper but they are put out by Briggs & Statton they must have bought out Snapper from what I heard, so I bought them the others most said will not hold up. I am not predjudice but when I received them they are made in China stamped right on the package I thought they were a USA company I wonder how many other parts are made here? There is old tools made in Japan that were great but just wondering why they charge so much for they say is an original snapper part and its not! anyone else feel that way? Thanks for listening to me babble on. Take care my snapper buddy's JamesVa Matt Dillon:confused2:
