I recall when I was a kid, one of my uncles had a Snapper walk behind mower with a similar friction disc drive. He was amazed when I tightened the drive tension spring on it.... I did it out of necessity because it was too heavy to push if the drive was constantly slipping. He never did understand anything mechanical. LOL

My series 6 Snapper has not been run so far this year, but I need to. Machines that set too much can be as bad or worse than machines that are abused. I got this thing from an elderly friend who has now passed away, but he loved talking about it. I think the only reason it got parked was due to a stripped blade bar. I have since reconditioned most of the machine and worked a lot of the kinks out of it.

I might get energetic and even paint it someday soon. These machines were built simple and built to last.
Rustoleum Professional Safety Red is what I use on my Snappers with good results. I prefer the quart cans of it, using it with a Harbor Freight cheap HVLP gun.Their cheapest guns spray as good as their more expensive ones. I don't like the spray head on the spray cans, but it is a handier way to paint something. The Rustoleum spray cans tend to have the siphon tube inside the can fall off and you have to hold the can upside-down to get it to spray. I know this because I have cut several of the cans open and have found this to be the case multiple times.

MAP gas is still obtainable and is much hotter than Propane.


Here are the burn temps from Google, propane vs mapp. You will never know the difference with a hundred degree spread.
