Thanks I just bought a snapper mower. Your teaching is awesome. Very explanatory.
Well, thank you I try my best without being too boring, I hope you’re a new subscriber. It is free for you, and it really helps me out. Jim.
Jim. You've been so very helpful on working on my model 3012 snapper. Thanks so very much. Cheers
Jimmy is at it again. He has produced another understandable informative Snapper RER repair video. Thanks for the ACE Hardware tips. Nice find on the $0.40 inspection plugs. I have managed to save these plugs and reuse them. If they become malformed when removed from the machine I just warm them up with a heat gun using a waving motion before reinstalling them. Do not use direct heat on these plugs please. Sometimes the plastic will revert back close to it's original shape. Reinstall them when they are still warm and flexible. Your hot water method may work as well. But for $0.40 ea. for a new one that might be the ticket as a way to go if'n one has an ACE/True Value store close enough and they have them in stock. I cannot wait for the Grand Finale video.
Good work man. I learn something every time I watch your nice videos.
Awesome Jim you made my day sparkling seeing you installed the same engine as the one I got in second hand. Once managed the separation of front and back frame for painting then I will be damned focus on that video.

Hi Jim - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. A cheap alternative to the cable protector that I have used is to cut a piece of garden hose and slice it length ways. Wrap it round the cables and tape it up. A very handy fix when you're miles away from a store. On completion of the project I hope you will give us a summary of the costs of parts needed and the total number of hours spent.
👍Good stuff Jim. Man you’ve done an awesome job on that mower!
Thanks all your videos I love them
Well thanks for watching and I hope you’re a subscriber it is free. Thanks Jim
Thanks, Jim!
Wow, thanks for the tip on the plugs!
And the right angle grease gun fitting!
I ordered the 90 degree grease gun fitting today. NAPA sells it for $28 plus tax. Amazon sells it for $14 plus tax. Same brand. The Lumax 90.
You will love it mine has a spring loaded collar that you lift up and it snap on to the standard fitting then let the collar go down and it never comes off that 90° is so helpful. You will love it. Jim
awesome. ok i see how to adjust the brake now. mine had an anchor point like that on the front too. i put it back and snugged it down, but didn't pay any mind to adjusting it. I figured the adjusters didn't move too much so it's probably fine. wrong i was. I'm 99 percent sure adjusting that will fix the brakes. Thanks.
Well let me know. Jim
finally got a chance to reassemble and test drive. took 1 ferrule's worth of slack outta the clutch cable, which i thought would be the brake cable cause it's the size of a pickup truck e brake cable, then i took about 2 inches of slack outta the brake cable, which is the size of a huffy's brake cable, lol! and it's working great now. clutch still works, a little higher in pedal travel, but it's good. brake works better than it ever has. only thing is now the parking brake pops out and won't hold. don't care though. soon i'll have to put a new blade drive belt on. so it's all gonna come right back apart. i'm thrilled with the results of the adjustments and i learned alot in the process. again, thanks to watching your content.
thank you for the tip about the plugs I will be going to Ace
Jim I've watched a lot of your Snapper videos and enjoyed them all. But have not seen one where you install the brake/clutch cables on a round frame single pedal Snapper. Do you have such a video? If so? A link would be great.
Question on the Vanguard 16hp. Did the engine fit without drilling any additional holes, do you recall the mounting holes dimensions?
I don’t know if it would or not when I took the engine off the machine it was bolted to a plate that was bolted to the machine deck I am not sure if it would drop on or not. Jim
Great video Jim as I’m getting ready to replace Brake cable on one of my snappers . I am a subscriber . Do you have a name , part number , model number etc; for the grease gun & adapter ?
Thanks Jim!
Do you have a part # of the clutch brake cable you used in video? Thats the one I need.
Was watching just to see where the clutch cable hooks up and it’s the one thing that was not in the camera shot. 😢 guess I will have to watch some where else…………
Hi Jim. Love these videos! My brake cable on my rear engine rider broke so I watched your video about replacing the brake/clutch cable and have run into a problem. When I went to connect the plastic end of The brake cable that is held in place by the snap ring, I noticed my replacement cable plastic piece had no notch for the snap ring. What do I do here? My old brake cable broke inside the plastic piece at the very bottom and I was wondering if that piece can be reused on my new cable since it has the slot I need for the snap ring. Can I take the cotter pin out of the very bottom of my new one and pull the wires out and put it all in the old plastic case? I’d appreciate any help or how it can be done and held in place without a snap ring. It is just perfectly smooth where the snap ring would go with no groove. Just don’t know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Again, I love your videos they’ve helped me immensely.

That’s where they all are even your old one the groove came from the snap ring itself being on the piece of plastic it kind of I guess the vibration and the spring in the snap ring actually cuts into the plastic. Jim
Another excellent video, Jim. Full of practical tips. Thanks for all you do. Random question, is the rear case larger on the 42" machine to accommodate the twin? Could I put a twin on my Series 23 28" RER?
I know the 42in machines have 3 sets of bolt holes if i remember right. I swapped one from a 16hp v twin briggs to a 19hp single cylinder briggs. You just need the right muffler And the right belt guide bracket. I think the 3rd set is for a Kohler. I swapped the briggs 10hp single out to a briggs 19.5hp single on my 30in machine and its a beast
Jim, have you heard Snapper has discontinued the manufacturing of the RER?
So i just a 28in xtra tough hivac from the scrap uard i work at. It one of the older white bicycle handle bar models. What all is worth saving off of it? I know it has the rear real wheel bearing axle plates but what else? Plus where can i get a bagger tube and bag?
Hi J Taylor - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Whatever you do, don't look for a bagger system over here - they cost about $700 new!
Great video Jim! Lots of useful tips, especially the parts at Ace Hardware. What were the signs that your idler pulley was bad? Squealing or vibration?
Once you get the belt off you can spin the idler pulley and you can hear the bearings and it also wiggles up and down. Jim
Thanks. I think it’s time for me to do a mid-season check up and lube of the entire machine. I’m planning on getting the second out this weekend and dust off it’s cobwebs. I haven’t run that one since I rebuilt it. Shame really.
@@stevef8993 well don’t feel bad I finally dug out my 2012 that I totally went through and replaced everything that even looked bad painted up all the rusty spots, and I haven’t used it yet had to get it dirty.lol. Jim
So I just got the second mower started and it’s blowing out tons of blue smoke. The last time I put it away I knew that the cylinder wall was scored but wasn’t this bad. It must have been a bad oil ring that dislodged and now it’s even worse. Do you know of a way to fix a scored cylinder wall besides bringing it somewhere to have it bored out and sleeved? Probably not worth it and I’m not sure a cylinder hone is enough to take off that much material. It’s an 8hp B&S.
@@stevef8993 I am not sure if they would re-sleeve it or not if it has a cast iron sleeve in it already they would just Bore it and put oversize rings on your pistol or a oversize piston depending how much they take out. I’m not sure I’m not really a engine man just a guess. Jim
My Snapper 28" Hi-vac brake / clutch cable shredded within inches of brake / clutch pedal. Even I (Mr. All Thumbs) found you tutorial very interesting though, at times, (vertically) challenging to follow what was happening down by the rear axle when the camera was aimed up near the base of the steering column. My (much younger & mechanically astute) next door neighbor is willing to [try to] replace the cable for me. I am going to ask him to watch your video before he attempts it. By the way, the lawn equipment dealer I am buying the cable from is charging $30.xx. Is this a reasonable price? Again, thanks for this video. I am going to check out your video #365: How can I fix my clutch cable. Hope it will be as spot on as was this one.
Depending on the machine that sounds about right some cables are discontinued and you have to make your own or you don’t get one let me know how you’re doing. Jim
Thanks. Also can you give me the model number from that 16hp Vanguard.
The model number of the 16 horse engine is 303777. Jim
Can you do a video on the Hub Driven Disc that the friction wheel actually bolts to.
What would you like to know about it and how can I help you. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 does it ever need to replaced? SR130 Snapper is my project.
@@jordansimpson9519 Sorry I just want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing are you talking about the clutch disk assembly and how it bolts to the chain case. Jim
Jim, do you have a contact email? I have questions about the drive disk installation, and cable adjustment
Yes, it’s jimsfixitshop@gmail.com
What is The ítem from Carquest?
Can you give me the part number of that Vanguard 16hp Twin engine.
Well I wish I had your email I could just send you the picture of this engine plate but here are the numbers
Mod. 303777
Type. 0418-01
7450
Code. 93092811
Thanks. Jim
