My neighbors moved, they could not take their old Snapper with them. They asked my guys if they wanted it. My darlings said yes because then they would not have to rush to fix my Craftsman rider mower.
Be wary of such old mechanized monsters. Mine is trying to kill me. I used it three days ago and my back is still hurting. The throttle is rigged and stuck at full speed, there is not a cushioning thing on it to make the ride even partially acceptable to back,kidney, bladder or liver. I rode that monster for a full forty minutes to mow our household lawns. Going full speed I was not so much mowing as I was trying to hold on and dodge things. At the last portion, it blew a front tire making the steering handle nearly impossible to turn. I was heading downhill towards our overgrown woods at the time. Yippee! ride em cowboy! That monster thought it had me. At the very last second I managed to throw my weight to one side and turn the beast. It only managed to rake my left side with grasping vines and painful branches.
Upon returning to the front of the house where son and husband sat on the porch, I managed to kill the beast’s engine, they dared ask what happened. Fools. Gods! I still hurt, aspirin does not help clenched, bruised muscles.
I am willing to bet others have been attacked by their own mechanized monsters. Let others know here and be warned about the beasts.
