  • / considering purchase of used Snapper front engine rider of 14.5hp and 38" deck
I am guessing this mower might be around ten years old or maybe not quite that much. I am trying
to get some model and ID numbers but in the mean time I wanted to know if these mowers were
considered to be of average or superior design and are repair parts available easily and affordably
for these units ? I have heard some horror stories about prices of parts now that Briggs is running
the show. Anyway the price is $450 and it is said that everything works well on the machine.

What is likely to be the 1st major and costly component failure ?

Is it true the only place to get repair parts are the existing snapper dealers ?

Has anyone done a sequential history of the Snapper models overview going back 30 or 30 years?
Where?

Thanks
