How-to Fix Snapper Mower Oversteer ― Permanently and Cheaply!

Fixing the Snapper Mower's over steer problem. Today I fixed the dangerous overseer problem on my Snapper Mower, and show you how to do the same. All measurements and materials called out.
For the record, the camera fell early in the video when i was moving the mower, and cracked the screen protector. You can see weird reflections on the left side after that happened. I believe I learned this technique from Jim Jackson's channel, but for the life of me I can't remember...

Glad to find out my Snapper is not the only one with this problem. I ended up putting a few blobs of mig weld on the arm where it hits the attachment plate. That keeps it from travelling too far. But, now that I see this fix, I have something else to try, if my fix fails.

Great Job Again! I am not a homesteader , but your videos sure inspire me. I am working on getting off of the procrastinators list.

[@PlanetMojo]

Thanks Eric! Homesteading -- or even just moving to the country -- involves more work, but it certainly saves on gym fees 😊

[@rondj1965]

I had this problem with my rear engine Snapper. Excellent video and great inexpensive fix. Thanks.

[@PlanetMojo]

You are quite welcome!

[@hockey98550]

Thank for video! I was having over steer, and did something similar, but idea worked! Turning radius a little smaller but it doesn't jam up.

[@PlanetMojo]

Glad it helped!

[@joes1280]

Thanks this worked for me great

[@PlanetMojo]

You're welcome!

[@gabe5946]

Very impressive buddy!!

[@PlanetMojo]

Thanks you Gabe! 😊

[@robertruprecht5412]

Thank you! Perfect

[@PlanetMojo]

You are quite welcome Robert!

[@SamlonHoldfield]

Congrats. very cool fix. So easy, when you know what to look for. Have you taken it for a spin yet? Curious if the turning feels any different. Well done. Thanks.

[@PlanetMojo]

Thanks Samlon, no I haven't taken it out yet -- had to be out of town for a couple of days. I'll be taking it out today and hope to get some video.

[@HappyHands.]

i have a 70's model and there is no notch cut out of the turn stop. Clearly some late model snapper designer was trying to decrease the turning radius without re-engineering the steering assembly. Seems like putting a connecting rod between the two steering arms and removing one of the tie-rods would of been a better solution. That would of kept the front wheels parallel in the turn.

[@PlanetMojo]

I agree.

[@PlanetMojo]

This video is a response to a video by @Jim Jackson where he describes the fix but does not actually do it. Hope it helps anyone who owns one of these machines! ua-cam.com/video/cZ7-tUkvgLo/v-deo.html

I just picked up one of these mowers and am having a different steering issue. The wheel just let go, it spins freely and the tires don't turn at all. In all of the steering repair video's I've found, this is the only one that has the same steering mechanism. This mechanism seems pretty straight forward - no rack and pinion, etc... I'm just trying to figure out what "let go"' before I tear it apart. Any ideas on this?

[@PlanetMojo]

Never heard of that one before, but it should be pretty easy to find. Good luck!

[@jophillips2868]

What is the tool set you were using.

[@PlanetMojo]

A Craftsman 12 pt. set. Not sure they make them any more...

[@kelvinshoebrook764]

What about the Bushings

[@larrysmith9359]

Great fix, but what has worn out to cause this?

[@PlanetMojo]

Nothing. They are built that way 😐

[@larrysmith9359]

Mine does not do that. I have had two rear engine Snappers and neither one had this issue. Had one with bicycle steering until 2014, then bought a new one.

[@davisrockey]

The plastic bushing are worn out.. They sell a kit but why keep buying the plastic bushing?
