Snapper RER we are not talking about dinosaurs here lawn mowers guys. LOL Do any of you guys ever work on these anymore? We have a couple of people who have them that we service yearly. I actually have a real Forest Gump mower that is over 50 years old and could make it run if I really wanted to, may do that some day.
I don't work on mine at all. It's rather boring cause I like to throw fresh parts at it but the little guy just works.
I put new rear axle boots on it back in 2013. Cost less than 20 bucks if I recall. New rubber drive disk just to freshen her up. That was a whopping $6.50 back in 2014. Deck belt was in so-so shape when I got it (2013). Still works fine to this day. Oh and I got a bottle of 00 grade Snapper grease for like 5 bucks (Tractor Supply) to top off the rear diff and chain case.
Don't know what you would service yearly other than oil and filter. Maybe clean the foam pre air filter. Sharpen THE as in one single blade. Air up the tires. Valve adjustment checks. Minor stuff all mowers go through. Guess there is some yearly fun. Been the most trouble free rider I've ever heard about. She bags, mulches, side slings and aerates. Will suck spare change off your garage floor.
I love the fact that Snappers are overlooked. Makes good older machines cheap. Everyone thinks they need a 0-turn to cut grass now. Actually Snapper's are the worst machines out there. Tell your friends LOL. Don't buy a Snapper. Horrible.......
