I really dislike working on lawn tractors/mowers. I helped my shooting
buddy change the main belt on his Honda mower last week - he called and
asked me to come by and help as he needed at least 2 more hands. He was
right!
Good luck with that Snapper - they make great mowers -

That's neat-they are very handy machines. Buster looks like he wants a ride
on it.

You're thinking of Lawnboy and that would be a pushmower anyway.
I used partstree.com they have the schematics right on their site. Even better
than the pedal cover they have the rubber treads that are under your feet when
riding. I didn't think to get those on the last order, surely I'll find
Snapper RERs are the 240D of the lawnmower world.
#1 the engine is in the rear out where you can get at it easy.
#2 it stands on the ass end for any underside maintenance. Changing the belt or
the blade is super easy...

was getting the dash back in. Just look for all the screws and

I did a 114 years ago to replace the dreaded heater blower (and do some AC work
as well) and I still have the scars to show for it.
I would add that it took me all of two full days to accomplish the feat, too.

The TD does look nice if you overlook the rust spots under the
rear windows. I will be getting those fixed sooner rather then
later. I don't like the leaks there even though they are still
slight. I did find what was leaking at the front though. Seems

The linkage is fine with no slop of any kind. You must be

My guess, and a guess is all it is as I'm no good at electronics,
is that something went bad on the board in the antenna motor box.

Same time for my first one. I replaced the second one through the center

That is my prescription for loose front end on a W124.
About 200,000 miles in normal driving will wear out the steering
