Just got a SR170

My neighbors father in law gave me his older (early to mid 90's i think) RER Snapper.

Frame is bent, no deck, but it does have a small blade on it. :trink40:

16 hp twin Vanguard is supposed to be good.

It has sat in his shed for a few years, since the snow plowing incident that bent the frame.

So, is it worth messing with or better to just part it out?

The motor runs strong, the electrical is chopped up, so gotta sort that out too.

Looks like i need to cut the welds holding the front end on (the ones that aren't already broken) and beat everything back in to shape the add some strength to it.

I think i am probably better off using the motor to repower a craftsmanII and rework the blade to work on the same mower.
