My Briggs&Stratton 15hp engine is shot on my 10 year old Snapper 1538LT. All other components of the mower are in good condition. I'm looking at replacing the motor since it will be cheaper than a new mower (read sensible & fugual). Work will be done by authorized snapper shop and I think it will run about 550 for same engine and 120 labor. Just put a new snapper deck belt on a month ago and new battery 2 weeks ago ($100 parts). I would get the shop to replace drive belt also since it's 10 yrs old.
I hate to get rid of my older snapper especially since everything except the engine is in good shape.
Experiences/advice with new engine replacement greatly needed and appreciated!!
