Old Snapper Push Mower Refurbish ~ Too Good for the Garbage! 

BS code was Dec 12th 1987 plant 4

Hey Arch...It know its a old video. But I just got the same mower. Been working on it for 5 hours. Replaced o ring and breather gasket. Took 1 hour just to clean it....adjusted the idle screw. Works great. I looked at if I bought all the self propel parts....300.00. Ill keep it the way it is. My gas tank too just nasty. Sunny but cold in Seattle. So I got to sit in the sun for 3 hours. Thank you for your aircraft wire video. Saved me money and I like I can use the plastic tube out

Great result mate...Snapper are a good looking mower..made to last..we dont have that brand in Australia...Enjoyed your improvisation on the Filter cover....These mowers will outlive Chunese junk for decades...Just a bit of TLC and your good..Cheers from Australia.

I just picked up a mower just like this a few days ago. Mine is an 89 by the date on the engine. Unfortunately the deck on mine is pretty rusty, although still solid.

Appears you are missing the sheet metal cooling guard that surrounds the cylinder fins.

You did a nice job on that mower. I just did a 1999 disc drive Hi-Vac.

Wow, that was a nice repaint job. I have probably the same mower, same engine, model 21355, 1987 vintage in my case, and I need to repaint it. I have done touchups with Rustoleum Gloss Cherry enamel, and I think it's pretty close to real Snapper Red. Do you remember which type & color of paint you used? Spray cans of real Snapper Red are expensive, so if you are flipping old ones, using that would eat up any profit from the flip, I would think.

That is a nice mower great job on the restoration

Say Arch, did you paint that deck, if so how did you do the white letters

Cleaned up really nice, top fix

Wow! I never knew they made Snappers with blade brakes... Nice

Arch, wish you had shown the paint process. You skipped right over it.

Arch Snapper mowers were about as good a mower as one could buy back in the day. The company had it's beginnings in St Petersburg FL/McDonough GA in the late 50's McDonough GA plant was the one that actually produced all of those great mowers from the late 50's through somewhere in the 90's I believe. One company bought them out & that company was bought by Briggs & Stratton. Bottom line like every other damn thing in American manufacturing. The You know Whos got involved & it all went to fecal matter. (Cannot say the name of the country because this platform is owned by them too) Most likely this comment will be deleted or shadow banned because there are 3 things basically not allowed here. 1. The Truth 2. Being a Patriotic American who puts America First. 3. Criticizing the country that this platform is owned by.

Nice mower good job.
