I bought it as a totally rust-free ohio car, which was strange. Until I discovered the rear main leaked so bad that the underneath was totally "undercoated" with oil, lol. Quote Selected

But come to think about it I have two Snapper mowers that are older than you, one is a '77 with a '80 engine(belonged to my grandfather, I inherited it in '85) and a '83 curb pickup I went through totally that now has '04 Honda power(kicks ass for a old walk behind)... There's also a 1987 with orig engine, that's the one I used today... Quote Selected

Even my lawn equipment is young.Trust me, young is better(though not necessarily in mowers)... I junked or traded other mowers for old Snappers(how I got the '87, orig just to be parts) but am finished, ones I have will last out my years and like me be junked... When making service calls I used to find them on the curb, if they were not total junk I tossed it in back of van... Last new(only new) mower I bought was in 1971 when I bought my first home...
