another tractor... what all is wrong with the Snapper? I always hated "parts machines" because I usually wind up digging into them and figuring out what's wrong with the parts machine and in turn getting them going -- or I'll rob my parts for the original machine, and then look for those parts again to replace them on the "parts" machine For me, "parts" machines typically turn into another project.
for that "not" to happen the parts machine needs to be missing about half of itself (already scavenged) before I get my hands on it or badly damaged; tree fell on it, hit by car/bent frame, or something like that/ but then about 1/2 the time that means the parts I bought the machine for are already already missing or else not usable....
