Snapper RER drive wheel
Comments (1)Well there is a little more to it than that. You need the complete ass'y. This includes a different hub where the drive wheel mounts and the mounting plate that goes with it and the drive wheel uses a liner inside it which is no big deal. I have never bought the conversion ass'y so don't know how much it is. If you have a lawn mower bone yard locally, you might get a used ass'y.

Comments (14)You never mentioned the Snapper series you have. Is yours the older model with the handle bars or newer with a steering wheel? You may be able to go to the Snapper site and get an owners & parts manual, IâÂÂm not sure if a service manual is there. http://www.snapper.com/us/en/support/manuals As mentioned, I owned one many years ago so my memory is not clear any longer on how it functions. When I sold it I gave the new owner the owners manual and repair manual so I'm unable to reference them. I recall there was a clutch spring adjustment that had three position holes, you may try to move it to another hole to reduce the spring tension. Look at part # 18 & 29 at the link below for reference. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=snapper&mn=28086S+28%22+8+HP+Rear+Engine+Rider+Series+6&dn=8608 Are you using this mower on hills? This may be causing your problem if the incline is too steep. Lastly you can always try to move the disk drive up towards the engine to reduce the pressure being put on the rubber wheel. It may be out of specs (3 3/4 to 3 7/8) but worth a try. Since you're at 3 7/8 try 3 3/4, if that doesn't work try 3 5/8 or less. Hopefully your new disk is still useable....See MoreSnapper RER wheels locked in neutral?
Comments (8)Well if it is moving OK when the engine is running but won't when the engine is not running, you really are not getting it in the right place. Some of the old ones had a Neutral/Park AND a roll position. IF it is a really old one, there is a finger that comes over against the side of the rubber drive wheel. Try moving the shifter lever in different positions between 1st and notch which I think you are calling neutral but may actually be Park. It should be easy enough to just stand the thing up and see what is going on. Walt Conner...See MoreSnapper RER likes old clutch disk
Comments (4)Ooops! I left out the dimension spec. The machine needs to be standing on the rear bumpers to do this. Using a ruler or stiff tape measure resting on the flat part of frame (next to where the round hole for engine entry is), to the edge of drive disc face (the face closest to you while you're down there)there should be a maximum of 3 and 13/16' to a minimum of 3 and 3/4". If the measurement you find is more than 3 and 13/16", someone has tried to compensate for wear by moving the drive disc closer to the rubber tired driven disc. There are 2 allen head set screws in the crank pulley (3/16" allen wrench) that need to be loosened in order to adjust the setting of the drive disc. Tap the drive disc gently with small hammer to move it after the set screws are loose. If you download or view the service manual you can look a picture of the procedure....See Morejohninmd
