persof 14 #1 Posted July 7, 2010 Since WH decks are so hard to find (expensive) I picked up a Snapper 28" riding mower so that my Wife / Daughter could help with mowing. The little Snapper seems to run well but engaging reverse takes a bit to much effort. How is that "disk" transmission adjusted? Thanks Francis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #2 Posted July 8, 2010 You just replace the drive wheel, when the rubber gets worn out. Reverse is a pain, just try not to back up if there is any other way. Use the a Wheel Horse where you have to back up and use the Snapper out in the open where you can just loop around on the already cut grass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
persof 14 #3 Posted July 8, 2010 I would love to use my 312-8 but I cannot locate a deck for it at a reasonable price Francis PS: I emailed Snapper and they sent me a illistrated parts list and complete service manual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dandan111 31 #4 Posted July 8, 2010 My grandfather had one he bought new like 20 some years ago. It would never stay in reverse you had to hold it(tight)to go in reverse. The engine always ran fine but the drive system was junk. Maybe we were not respecting the machine at 13 years old we just wanted to be done mowing, and hope none of our friends seen use on that goofy snapper!
