Buy a new Snapper or Repair the old one?
Original Message May 2, 2005 12:46 pm

I have an old snapper hi-vac, 5 hp Briggs engine. I have replace the differential and now the drive plate has gone out. Should keep repairing it or go for a new one? If I go for a new one, which engine? There are 3 engines listed:

6.5-hp Briggs & Stratton Quantum
7-hp Briggs & Stratton Intek OHV
6-hp Kawasaki OHV

I have a pretty small lawn, but also use the mower to suck up leaves in the fall

Dave====That is what I like abought a Snapper. It can be rebuilt and doing so puts it back in top notch shape. Like Marshall stated, glad you got it going---Will
