Thanks, BlazNT. I did some more research last night and came up with 1983 from The Tractor Registry.So I'm still researching. My next door neighbor heard me mowing last night and came over, looked it over and is going to show me how to service and repair it. His family owns the local Snapper Dealer, and he did repairs and service for 10 years. Nice to have that kind neighbor.We are going to tune the carb today, and i'm going to get new axle boots and front bushings tomorrow. So,the adventure begins!
Thanks, will be keeping y'all updated.
