A subscriber pulled this out of his local town dump metal pile and gave it to us. lets see why it was scrapped and if it can still be saved?

I'm surprised you don't have one of those Milwaukee m-spector inspection scopes, you're always peeking into spark plug holes and such.
Please stop saying “set up “
I really enjoyed this video. I started collecting old Snapper lawn mowers about 4 months ago. Currently, I am recovering from a complete bicep tendon rupture. After watching this video, I can't wait to get back to tinkering with my mowers or any other junk I can find. Thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!
You got to be the luckiest man alive finding junk that runs. My good junk fails to run if sitting long
I love your videos
I have this exact mower. High-Vac deck. Leaves the lawn immaculate. This mower just keeps on performing beautifully.
Mustie I didn't see you point this out in the video but these mowers have an adjustable steering column like a car. The plastic piece on the bottom of the wheel above the dash pushes down, and you can slide the wheel further or closer to you. then you release that part you pushed down and it locks in place. Very cool for such an old machine to have that feature! Also I have the deck eject cover for this mower if you want it, in perfect shape. I could drop it off to you. let me know!
That Snapper is mid-80’s. I had one just like it bought in ‘85.
Friction drive?
Sometimes, when you have a rusted fastener….it's toast, trashed,….humpty dumpty. Gota cut it. Especially on farm equipment or anything that's operated outside.
Back then mowers was built to last
Second hand Can-ibis, must not be harmful, like Cigarette smoke, in New York State !!!!
