i just picked this up yesterday, incredible mower, runs like a top. Wisconsin Robin 5HP commercial

can anyone tell me more about it?

Yes, u have one of the best mower/engine combos ever made. Don't ever get rif of that. Here's the extent of my knowledge: Those Wisconsin-Robin engines were made by Fuji Heavy Industries in Japan in the 1980s and early 90s I believe. In the early 90s the Subaru bought them out and it became Subaru Robin engines, and those were black not white. Then they went out of business all together and thise engines have not been made in probably 20 years or so. Something like that. But even though parts can be hard to find (ebay usually has stuff, and just google Wisconsin-Robin WI-185 and your Snapper model #, you'll find parts out there) that mower will run circles around almost anything. I would clean it up a bit, looks kinda dirty, and u can find original white steel Snapper wheels for that at castomower.com. I bought a set for one of my WRs there. How much did u pay for it, if u don't mind me asking?

...and what's up with all the tape around the drive cable up on the handlebar?

Freak, i paid $10.00 for it. I bought a lot of 10 or so items for $120.00
4 mowers, 2 Craftsman, Honda, Snapper a Echo trimmer, an Auger, two hedgers, a 1969 6HP briggs horizontal shaft engine, als a Poulan Super 25da. not sure what is under that tape yet.

Heck of a deal. Congrats! Just needs some minor cleaning up but with the engine in that good of shape u got a real winner. As for parts, ebay usually has a lot of things on there, just depends on if u need what happens to be on at the time. I've found air filters on discountonlineparts dot com for about $8. Keep that filter clean. Looks like that bag is almost new. Does it have the handlebar braces on it?

 

[twinfords]

yes it has the braces, it is a tank for sure.
