snapper addiction

[Snapperfreak]

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.

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:
