Snapper will do that to ya! :wink: They make a really quality machine. Very heavily-built. JD quality, without the JD ergonomics and comfort - that's the downside. Be ready. :frown: They are not the comfiest thing you've ever put a blade to your grass on.

BUT, they WORK. And they KEEP working. When they break, you can get PARTS. Try that with a JD RER!!! :laughing: It's Ebay time for those guys! Meanwhile, you can partstree or whatever - even go to a dealer if you like paying through the nose.

Nope, no audio. This happens with some youtube video for some of us. I was trying to watch a George Carlin clip forever - but there was no audio. Some people heard it, others didn't. I didn't. Methinks it is the same with your production. :frown:

HEY, now THAT paint job came out spectacular! I take it you bought new decals anyway (cheap as they are, and available, too) You forgot the front rims, though......:wink:

No other mockery this time! Really good job! Now go and re-paint that Suburban........:biggrin: :laughing:

 

[reddragon]

the next time you see it ....it'll be finished....that front decal bugs me a little [ not being the original white/black]...but it looks clean ..........and i talked to the Snapper dealer to see if i could get some turtle stickers...but he said they dont make them anymore :frown:...i guess 10% of the parts on Snappers are foreign made and the turtle named S.A.M. stood for .......Snapper..American..Made....so they've officially killled the turtle..i was bummed...so if you see any turtle stuff..grab it and keep it

 

[reddragon]

well...its 95% done....the plastic gas tank is faded....id like to polish that or paint it......it stands out now that everything else is shiny.......of course the wheels still need they're paint.....and a few finish paint touch ups....the new SNAPPER decal looks pretty good....but the original style [white/black letters]would be much better.....no vibrations...smooth at low and high rpms now....fires on the first pull everytime....reverse still requires hercules [ ive got to fix that if anybody else ever uses this thing].....that HI-VAC is no joke!...i started the blade up over my gravel driveway and it left a 2" deep manhole under it..DAMN!....if i left the blade on... it would've gone to china! :laughing:

 

[reddragon]

well....im finished.......its a light resto job... [except the overspray on 2 tires....thats what you get when you paint in the wind]:confused2:ill get that cleaned off tonight.....fires on the first pull everytime....man!...you gotta love that!
