I'm new here, thought I would share my little collection with you guys. Nothin.g pretty, but I love these things! One of these days I would like to have a little of everything from the snapper line up, but I don't see a lot of it for sale around here. All my friends think I'm crazy. The zero turn gathers dust, and I cut my 4 acres with a snapper most of the time. It takes three times as long, but I enjoy it for some reason!

Here's the 3 I use. Just got the 41 inch mower. A father had given it to his son when it quit on him. The kid completely die-assembled it. Took awhile to get it together and my parts mowers are just about used up now, but I love it! I can not keep air in the front tires though.



Shed out back. Some projects when find the the time.



Parts mowers



The one that started it all, my dads old mower. Anybody know where I can find some of these solid front tires? The 41 needs a set!

Second pictures not wanting to cooperate!

wow i have the same addiction only its with old snapper self-propelled mowers. 1980-1989. those RERs look to be in really good condition. if i could only buy every old snapper sp i see on craigslist and stick them in my garage i would. nice collection.

Nice collection

Nice collection. I just acquired my first Snapper rear engine riding mower. I never paid much attention to these before. But now I keep my eyes open for them. I have a model 3011X5S. The guy that had it before me had really jerry rigged a lot of things on it. Mostly with the engine. It has a B&S 12.5 HP model 286707 4029 01. I just replaced the coil and now I have spark. Got it started once, but can't seem to get it started again. I am trying to find a wiring diagram to make sure it is correct. I would like to get it running before the grass gets to high. I'll keep trying.

I have recently found a place in Virginia that seems to have a great selection of mower tires in a variety of sizes.

I also have been looking for a front tire and the Snappers seem to have ones a bit smaller than the more standard 11x4x5.00.

Mine (RE1433) are 11x4x4.00. Seems like this size would work on your older t-bar, especially if you're replacing both.

The place is called Griggs Lawn % Tractor. Their phone # is 757-304-9549. They also have a store on eBay and are rated as a top seller.

They also specialize in after market parts on many brands of tractors, mowers and other power equipment. Large selection. Shipping prices seem very reasonable to me.

I just got a good deal on a Snapper RER this weekend. I've been wanting one for a long time and was getting ready to buy a new one when I saw an ad on Craigslist for a 30" model M301021BE for $450. No idea what year it is, but went and looked at it, ran and cut well, I offered $300 and he accepted. Took it home and mowed my grass with no problem. I ordered a new mulching blade and put a new battery on it as the old one was dead (has a pull start, but I'm lazy). It's in great condition, looks to have been kept inside for it's life, which I will do as well. Best $300 I've ever spent!

Wow$300?? That's a deal!

Any pics??

nice collection I'm addicted to 1650 snappers

just picked this up a few days ago. built in 1973 with the model 92908 3.5hp B/S engine. runs great. SP a little diffrerent from later models (has a nuetral position, axle is painted white with white metal rear guard and engage lever is on left side not right, as u can see). obviously not a super commercial duty like my wisconsin-robins but it's very old and very cool just the same.

Nice I need to get one of my own. They have one on Craigslist for $50. I might just have to buy it

O man for $50 jump on it!! I spent $75 but i figured i'd never find one in such good shape for that cheap. The guy didn't know anything about snappers and i think he should have been asking twice as much but i just smiled and said "thank u very much"!

I really can't spend more money on mowers right now and my wife told me tonight she'd really appreciate if i didn't come home with anymore...now that i have 6! but if i see a gem for free or maybe $20 no way can i pass it up. i can hide it at my brother's place if i have to. but i'm OCD about these. There's a really clean snapper push mower on cl for $45. Looks like a 1988 or 1989 model with the 3.5 max engine. not sp, only a push and i'm not really a fan of those plasticy-newer engines but it looks really clean...but no can't do it. It's also about 35 miles away from me so a 70 mile round trip plus the $45 for it i just can't justify. Still want it but have to pass for now.

Great stuff! I understand about the OCD!:biggrin:

One jumped into the bed of my truck while I was at work today! Atleast that's the story I'm going to try feeding my wife when I get home.:biggrin: A guy at work brought it to me. Looks like it could be a runner. Been sitting for 7 years atleast is what he told me. It's got potential!

Sweet! Maybe if u sneak it in the middle of your other ones she won't notice!:laughing:
