Repairs Old Snapper RER Comet Model 306X restoration project

[ForestGump]

I have an old snapper rear engine rider comet model 306X that I have had for years. I have replaced the original engine with a Tecumseh 10HP electric start about 18 years ago, still runs great. The clutch/brake spring broke yesterday so I am trying to find one of those. I also decided I would go ahead and do a complete restoration while I was at it. I need decals, and it has the deck spindle cover but I really need to replace it too. Does anyone know of a good place to find parts for these old RER Comets from the early days of Snapper? Thanks for any help.

it wouldnt surprise me that a good snapper dealer would have the parts you need on the shelf too,mcdowel-evans ace hardware,(843)552-6152 ask for joe in service,I found an old walk behind and he had everything but a deck shell in stock..
