I went thru everything and the stickers were removed. There is absolutely no markings

It's most likely a 3311X5S.

It looks like a 33". Take the blade off and measure it. For years Snapper put the tag below the battery. The acid took care of the tag. I think I still have a belt hanging on the wall for a 33".

It is a 33" deck with a 12HP engine produced in 1996. The handle make it a series 6 or earlier but the series 5 used an 11HP engine.

So it is more than likely a 3312X6S. Belt part number 7010749YP.

Having been a Snapper dealer up until the early '90s, this mower is right in my wheelhouse. The last round tube mowers (with the exception of the re-introduced "classic" models) was the series 6, and was last produced in the late '80s. IIRC, the series 6 had only one pedal, with a latching mechanism to lock down the clutch/brake pedal. Since this mower has two pedals, I feel it is a series 5, and would have been built in about the mid '80s.

Measure the blade to be sure.

Engine is a 1996 Briggs. Take care of it. Don't make them like that anymore. Could be a repower possibly.

What is throwing me is the skinny left rear tire. Looks like proper right rear I think. Pictures are throwing me off. The 33" normally has wider meats on the rear.

Here are the updated pictures of the mower model in question. I'm hoping by showing the mowing deck it will help you all better to identify the exact model.

So I have an issue with my 3311x5s. When I put it in 1st gear it won't move. Second gear it moves but very very slow. Reverse works good. I have no idea where to start. There is gear oil in the case... I just received a yoke that I haven't installed yet...

Guy on youtube Jim Jackson has some terrific videos on the RER drive systems. He has all the help you need.

A couple of things I would check.

Gear shift adjustment - If the clutch is partially over the hole in the drive disc, it won't pull well and the disc won't last.

Worn yoke - This is most likely. Check the slot in the yoke that rocks back and forth when clutching. They get notches worn in them and don't hold as much tension against the drive disc as needed.

Drive disc - I have seen the actual drive disc get worn in one speed area, but this is rare.

I ground out the rear plate on mine. Where the tubes are that the mower rests on when you lift the front up. Right below the engine. Allows more pushing action on the driven rubber disk to the steel drive disk. No more slipping. Simple cuts with a cut off wheel to mod the rear plate below the engine.
