Hey Jim nice cutaway model where you get it ? These Snappers run for years with barely any maintenance to the drivetrain other than the disk replacement. Worked on plenty of these for customers and resales. Nice video

Do you fix snappers as a living? What state do you live in I’d love to see your shop and some of the things you do, the cutaway model I made myself I thought it would be a good visual aid for explaining things to my viewers. Jim

Jim, how would 20-50 weight motor oil with a small amount of Slick 50 work for lube in gear case??? Thanks, John from W. Michigan

Well I’m not sure how thick 20/50 weight oil is it may be too thin causing a few drips or leaks. Jim

As soon as I get a chance, I'll be taking my chain case apart and putting gear lube in there. That's really terrible Jim at what they call snapper lube

Well I put that 00 grease/oil in last weekend, then I found these videos. It did not come out of the fill holes. But it was thick going into the gear boxes . I used it today, cut grass for 2 hours, worked great. Tomorrow I am thinking I will add some gear lube to the boxes that have the 00 in them , filling till they are up to the actual fill levels. What are your thoughts on me doing this Jim?

Matt Hill A few guys have tried that with the intentions of thinning the double 00, but only time will tell if it worked or not

That was a surprise. Per Snapper's literature that I have seen the reasoning behind the 00 lube is that it wont leak out of the cases as they claim 80/90 gear lube will, particularly around the fill plugs. Have you had any problem with that? Again, great video, keep them coming. Thanks. Randy

Can't wait for part 2. Ordered gaskets from Jack's but 1 is backorderd. Purchased 00 grease. Sterns equivalent to snapper they say. If I end up doing the total tear down, I'm serious thinking about the gear oil you suggested. What type exactly do you recommend? Thanks for all the videos Jim!

Bruce Kearney Are use 80/90 gear lube but the choice of what you put in your machine you have to decide on what you think is best for your particular situation. Thanks Jim

Would the lack of lube cause those bearings to fall apart?

Jim, I have watched ALL of your Snapper videos as references for the maintenance on my 2 RER's. Thank You for what you do! I'm curious about one thing that I don't think has been touched on. I understand that the Snapper "Commercial" or "Extra Duty" riders have roller axel bearings installed. Can a machine that uses "bushings" convert to actual bearings used on the Commercial machines? I would certainly think a roller bearing would be superior to a bushing bearing. Scott

Scott Bair Hi Scott I'll have to check on that I'm not sure if the bearings would fit in our fenders where the bushings are I'm thinking at worst case we would have to buy different fenders but I'll call my inside guy at Parts Tree.Com and ask him that thanks for your questions I appreciate them I hope your a subscriber and will talk to you soon. Thanks Jim
