    I bought a mower just like that older one at a estate sale this past weekend...$40...put in new battery, plug, fuel filter...changed oil...it cranked right up. Was told it had been sitting in shed for 12, 15 years since last cranked. Im VERY satisfied with that deal.

      @@TheNovaJohn Well I worked AT the factory from 72 till the plant was closed by B&S, 90% of the time I worked there I worked in the Quality department, I've handled EVERY part, EVERY change, EVERY blueprint and did many of the first piece inspections during that time, the BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION is that since they are similar then one can swap parts, do adjustments willy nilly on all of them the same which is FALSE, doing so can cause your mower to be leas reliable, and even NOT safe

    who cares? nobody buys those overpriced pieces of crap when you can buy a John Deere with a 42" deck, 22hp v-twin engine and hydrostatic transmission for the same or lower price. that's why Snapper discontinued them 2 years ago.

      @@TheNovaJohn sure, if you beat it to death or use it like a commercial mower, but if you use it for it's intended residential use according to the manual, it will last a good 10 years or more. my neighbor is still running his D130 after 10 years (he even lets me borrow it) and it cost $500 less than the snapper at the time. But he also did the initial 50 hour service recommended by Tuff Torq, opened up the transmission, cleaned out the old 10W30 oil and metal shavings out of the gear box and filters, resealed it and refilled it with synthetic 5W50 oil. that gives it maximum torque and much longer life for people that want to keep it more than 5 years. John Deere doesn't tell their customers about this but Tuff Torq does.

      Issue is like you said, if ya don't know, it could be too late. Not much ya can do after that. He cant do it himself so it put him in a bind. If I tried the oil change and it didn't work, its more money on top. Sux.

      BS! These were the only homeowner mowers you could buy that were built to last..and they did. Mines 19yrs old, original engine still powerful.
      Theyre just like Toyotas....because theyre designed to be serviced, they will soldier on even during neglect, and if you treat them right and do the services they will last forever.
      So im glad you enjoy the generic lawn tractors that Lowes Depot will sell you....they suck, theyre not meant to be serviced and sure as heck not built to last
