Today we'll be looking at a couple Snapper EZ Speed (or Easy Speed) self propelled lawn mowers.
These mowers are quite unique, as they use a Friction Wheel Drive System, which is similar to that of a snow blower!
I'll be explaining how this drive system works, as well as comparing some differences between a customers Residential model, and my own personal Commercial model.
The drive bearings and bushings on the Residential mower need to be replaced, and I filmed the repair video separately, so I'll upload that at a later date.

If anyone notices quality issues with this video let me know by replying to this comment. RU-vid says "HD version is still processing" but it seems to play fine in 1080p/60 format. I think it's just a glitch in RU-vid studio, thanks.

@TheLawnmowerLady 3 года назад

Awesome explanation Mr. EP My video defaulted to 360p but I was able to choose 1080p

@waynestefinashen239 3 года назад

Nice comparison video and just for the subscribers information the commercial unit came in totally disassembled non running condition for $10 off the price of a functional fully serviced self propelled mower you were selling. What a deal and this is the only self propelled mower the OLD MAN uses because we have it set to a slow walking speed.

Just watched your other video about the hex shaft bearing replacement and subbed! This one is awesome as well! Came by my commercial model secondhand and now needs repair. Thank you so much for all the information and the excellent video, again!! 👍

@nashguy207 3 года назад

Snapper has used that system for years on there push mowers and there older riding mowers we had both when I was growing up.

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Yes definitely, just wanted to share a video showing that they use it on their self propelled lawn mowers too!

@jimmyross4352 Год назад

Very helpful thank you ! my neighbor discarded this commercial puppy and thanks to you I now have some much appreciated knowledge to work with!😎

@jesusdrummer21 Год назад

After Eliminator performance video on the system. It took a couple days to fix my Snapper. It was in bad shape when I acquired it....its awesome to mow with

@davidlang576 3 года назад

The same system they had 40 years ago, on the old 10 hp rear engine mowers!

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

It's quite robust and gives you accurate speed control, thanks for watching!

@nickluzzi8767 3 года назад

@waynestefinashen239 3 года назад

You must be referring to the OLD MAN eh as we say in Canada? Nice to hear from you again mate keep the shine up on that dome!

My snapper drive system chatters from speed 2 to on. I've replaces the ring and all bearings and the slide bushings look fine. I've ordered a new hex shaft and ring socket with ring installed. I have two new belts but haven't installed those as I don't think the others are bad. This snapper is about 15 years old.

@Cinder2008 3 года назад

Good information. I had the residential model. The tension spring broke so often, I bought them 2 at a time. Then after about 5 years, other springs, belts, linking rods and drive wheels began to fail. The complexity of the drive is the reason I bought a Toro. It has been relatively trouble free.

@TheRustyRooster 3 года назад

good info here, Video was really grainy at the intro but cleared up

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Thanks for checking in, RU-vid has a processing issue for some reason.

@chefspenser1480 10 месяцев назад

Like this video- but, I'm stuck trying to change the belt...do a vid on that please. Cheers

@brucel.6078 3 года назад

Great info! Thanks!

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@donvoll2580 3 года назад

Good day Boy that seems pretty reliable. You know on farm we would anything that went around, this unit could be oil, greased. Thanks Looks like a good strong unit.

@Tom-ic7hw 25 дней назад

ive got the same drive belt on mine no idler pulley looks likes gonna be a bear to replace the one I have is original 25 years old lots of stuff gonna have to use loosened up to get it around both pulleys

@robertmailhos8159 3 года назад

The drive unit on this walk behind mower has something s as a rear engine rider by snapper see you later young man 😎

@condor5635 Год назад

Great video. I am very familiar with this mower. Have repaired my 10yr old few times - bearings etc. Question is I have never done any work on the transmission. Works great but always thought replacing or adding 00 grease would be good. Wondering your thoughts on that. Thanks!

@josephhettiger2711 10 месяцев назад

The commercial mower your showing doesn't look anything like my commercial 21 with a Kawasaki FJ 180v. The friction drive wheel on mine is steel with replaceable rubber ring. Yours appears to be the residential ez speed with the Briggs and Stratton

@paraicjoyce286 Год назад

Where do I buy the drive belt? What size and make is the belt?

@EliminatorPerformance Год назад

Google your model number, type parts diagram after that. Once you find the drive diagram, get the part number for your belt. Then search for that part number on the Internet. Maybe Amazon or eBay, or a local small engine repair shop

@kjell-richardlvdal373 3 года назад

I see you can not run the lawnmower in revers like a snowblower, because the fri ion disc can not move over centre of frictioplate

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Yes no reverse, as the friction wheel doesn't cross over the center to the other side of the friction plate

@1984juant 3 года назад

Love the channel. Question: why you named your channel "Eliminator"?

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Eliminate the competition? Haha I'm not too sure, just sounded like a cool name!

@1984juant 3 года назад

@@EliminatorPerformance lol I thought it was a 'process of elimination troubleshooting'.

@benjaminhildebrand2220 5 месяцев назад

The steel wheels wear out very quickly

@staind288 3 года назад

My dad bought a little poulan pro rear engine rider with a friction disk drive system. What a joke! Something is always breaking on this thing and parts are hard to source. It's still not right.

@benjaminhildebrand2220 5 месяцев назад

The plastic ones are better
