PIC THREAD: Post your Snapper RER here!

If the engine is original, look on the spark plug side of the engine. There is model, type, and code numbers stamped into the blower housing. The first two digits of the code number tell what year the engine was manufactured.

Thanks for the tip !!! I'll update as soon as I get a chance to peek tonite.

Yup, 28086S I know it stands for 28" 8HP Series 6 with electric start. I need to decode the serial # to see if that tells me the year, manufacture plant, etc. Trouble finding a decoder for that...

What are the numbers on your engine?

Looks like it's an '88

Yep, and your mower looks like it is in pretty good condition. Are you going to restor it to sell it or for yourself?

 

[Rickstar22]

Definitely a keeper. Never thought I'd feel like doing this with a mower. I have put together many cars, but it just never clicked to try something like this. Guess it's just another thing with an engine and 4 wheels to have fun with... :wink:

And much cheaper than cars!

Just got it today, hoping to get it running. Seems like a carb/fuel issue.

You deffinatly have a 6 series, that was the first series with the foot operated parking brake. I'm pretty sure the 6 series started in 1987. What is your model number? 2808 something?

Also the engine, if the original, i think it has the year in the model number.

2812x6s....if it's a 28 inch cut
