I am thinking by reading all this that you might be able to buy the parts and put this together your self. You can go online and pull up pics of how and where everything goes.
Thanks for the reply, Carscw!
If you knew how horribly unmechanical I am, you'd know it would be a bad idea for me to try and put this together myself. :laughing: I am good at some things, know my limitations with other things. It was a MAJOR victory for me the other day when I figured out how to put new AA batteries in the digital thermostat for my heat pump system. :thumbsup:
The good news is I think I may have found someone to help me...not through this forum. But I looked on Craig's List and found an ad for a guy who works on old mowers out of his garage. He's retired and simply loves old mowers. He works on mowers for other people to help support his own restoration projects! And he's only about a half hour away from me.
I took my walk behind to him yesterday afternoon. His own collection of projects is impressive. He says he thinks he can put my little "Humpty Dumpty" back together again and his estimate is very reasonable.
I just knew I needed to stop trying to get a "real" shop to work on my mower. What I needed was someone who has a passion for old mowers.
Will post an update when I know more. But I have a lot of hope now that my Snapper walk behind will be mowing within a few more weeks!
