I love my 1993 Snapper self propelled mower. Have done a lot of work on it over the years and finally the original engine bit the dust. I got a Predator from Harbor Freight and ordered the 7/8 snapper pulley and 7/8 snapper blade adapter. I have limited mechanical ability and have learned a lot along the way. I didn't know about keys and keyways and didn't realize that the shaft and blade adapter are different. Crankshaft 3/16", blade adapter 5/32". Is there a happy ending here? Is there another blade adapter that I can substitute?
My other challenge is mounting the engine. Only 1 hole on engine is threaded. Can I buy self threading bolts? If I need to tap, what size tap?
Thank you in advance for your help. In the past, I would call my dad, the best mechanic, unfortunately, he passed away almost 6 months ago. He taught his daughter how to do a lot of things, but there was never time for everything else!
