Old Snapper RER

[Vervepipes]

Haven't been on in a while. I'm in no big hurry for an engine yet, I won't proceed until I find a suitable deck locally as shipping will be expensive. I've seen disc drives listed before, so I know that won't be the project stopper.

this is a very cool project hope it all works out because that mower will be the talk of the town.

Have you done any more with this Snapper?

I had a friend give me a Model 25066 serial # 73002032
Looks very similar to yours.
How do you know it had an 8 HP?
I looked and saw it said they came with 6 HP engines

I was wondering if this 7.75 HP would do as it is only a 25" cut.

As long as it had the heavy flywheel it will work and do a good job. If you get it just make sure to mount it where the carb faces the seat, that way the carb will be up when stood on end.

Too bad you are not closer..
I just took a fine running Tecumseh 10 HP off my Snapper
You could have it for cheap..

Try and find a used disc drive as they are $60 without shipping on eBay..

Here is a link to part you will need..

It is a 1" shaft motor you need..

There is an engine on my Snapper. The man said it was bad. I have not had time to look at it as I am working 3 jobs (part-time) for a while, and it interferes with my play time.
