Ah...winter time....Really terrible;......,Thanks for the video!!!
I sure hate to see a Quantum die.... you did all you could Dr Doby. 👍
Very good tom enjoyed the video thanks
Those are some of the best lawnmowers ever built. I had a 91 model, lasted 38 years. If they still sold them, that's what I would still be using.
That might be the first Quantum. Check the serial number. 🙂
Good informative video and a well done engine autopsy. That Snapper is well worth repowering with a new engine. The junk they are making now can not touch that machine. I have repowered a Snapper with an engine from Small Engine Warehouse in Indiana. They were very reasonable in price years ago, but like everybody else they have gone up. I believe they buy excess engines from mower manufacturers that do not need them.
on my third engine. Came with 3 3/4hp Tecumseh. Then a B&S Sprint 3 1/2hp.
Been Quantum 6.0hp for the last 15 years. The engine was assembled April 2000.
Snappers are decent. Hondas may be second or third next to Toro. My Snapper is 1984.
my toro walk behind turns 40 this year!
great vlog thanks for share
Shucks, too bad the snapper snapped. Love how Tom always takes the Bull by the horns. In less than 45 minutes Tom had that Quantum apart and diagnosed. Also love how a metal hanger got transformed into a spring tensioner. 👏👏👍👍keep em coming
Lol. I just spent two years fighting with an old '98 Snapper Ninja that had been sitting for a long time. I finally got it to run right and got it out of my shop a few weeks ago. I literally had everything apart on that mower at one point or another. Everything was seized, warped, rusted, or sticky. I never want to see another Snapper again, lol. I lost my ass on that job, but it was an heirloom that belonged to a friend of mine. That's why I was willing to get that deep into it. I put more time in on that mower than I have on all 14 that I currently own combined.
That's unfortunate for that old Quantum engine. Those were when Snappers were built tough and ran well. Now, let's see you find a good engine for it. We want to see this one run again!
I can't believe you got that blade adapter off. I couldn't get it off of the one I worked on, even with an impact.
I'm sure you already know, but if these are hard to pull, pay close attention to that self propel system. I recently worked on one with the same system. It was really hard to pull, and I didn't realize until I got it somewhat running that the vertical disc on the self propel mechanism was seized on the shaft. This one may not be that bad, but if they are a little sticky, it certainly isn't helping. I ended up having to take it apart and beat that disc off the shaft, and then sand down the shaft and the inside of the disc before lubing it up. After that, it was a lot easier to pull.
lol I'm a semi pro mechanic, and I almost gave up on that Snapper I was dealing with. I thought I was never going to get that thing going. I would go hardcore on it for a month or two until I fell behind on my other jobs, then I would take a break from it and come back when my desire to push it out to the curb and be done with it subsided. I decided that it wasn't going to beat me.
Snapper "high lift" were excellent mowers until the name was sold.
👍👍👍
Hello , can you tell me what is best size pull cord I can get off Amazon for Toro recyclers or Craftsman mowers ? Keep up the great videos !!
the size i use is stens brand #4 part number 146-911
Yes it’s going to be a carb rebuild 😅
Lol. I did the same thing that fella did on this one I was dealing with. When I got it running, it would run halfway decent fully choked and would surge on high speed, but ran like garbage on med speed, and wouldn't run at all on low speed. I loaded up the parts cannon and began firing. I cleaned or replaced every part in the ignition system and every part in the fuel system with the exception of the little plastic insulator behind the carburetor that I assumed could not go bad. Can you guess what the problem ended up being? When it was all said and done, I spent countless hours and put $120 in parts on that machine trying to fix a problem that was caused by a $3 part. smh I guess you live and you learn, lol. You talked about coming up against weird problems. Everything I work on has been sitting for a long time or comes out of someone's trash. I have come across so many strange issues in the six years that I have been doing this. I've learned a helluva lot though.
