Picking Up Snapper Big 6

[SnapperRiley]

That mower hasn't went through anything man. A crack in plastic and poopy axle/wheel ain't nothing. Rip that wheel off and replace it, I'd replace with steel wheels, I like those wider handle bars on the newer models

Not sure what to do. I was thinking it would be nice to have one set up for mulching and one for bagging. But this is going to take a lot of work/money to get it to point I'd want it at. Deck is pretty beat up.

So I may just swap the electric motor over to mine as well as anything like the speed control linkage where mine is bent. Have to think this through as well as test motor.

This battery comes with LCD display. I see a charger is listed as OEM. Do you need to keep a trickle charge on these? No recharge on mower? Never had electricstart before.

Thanks! I actually like the older handle but will give this one try if I get it running. Are they swappable?

What year is it?

PO said it was purchased 10 years ago. Are there any codes that would identify year?

First digit in s/n is last digit in year made. Serial number starting with "7" is a 1987, or 1997 or 2007. Telling the difference in the decade is from other attributes of the mower. I know '70s and '80s but not much beyond that. The series number will denote how new also. Series 0,1,2,4 and 5 are from like '79 thru '89. '90 I think started series 6.

And if you look under the mower shrout, there are numbers stamped to the block. the last set of numbers, look at the first two numbers in the last set. Those two numbers identify year.

Will look. Since serial # starts with 8 I'm betting 98

Looks like engine is 97
