Advice on Mower

She probably stole it. =P

Has it been used, on a regular basis? Or, has it been sitting in a shed for all that time? (I'd change the oil, before trying to start it.)

Does it have an oil check dip stick? If so, it's a 4 cycle and uses regular gas.

true. and sadly there was always one who would fill it completely to the top and ruin the little motor.

Not all 4-stroke B&S have/had sticks. They /all/ have/had a place to add oil, by itself, though.

Does anyone here have the Snapper 7 HP walk behind, hi-wheel mower ?

If so, how well do you like it ??

thanks

I don't have a high-wheel mower, but I use one that belongs to a client when I do her yard. It's also not a Snapper, but if you're interested in the functionality of the wheels, here goes:

• The large wheels make it easier to move up and down steps.
• When I push down on the handle to raise the body, it raises higher and faster.
• The big wheels seem to ride on top of the grass more due to the larger surface area, making the front cut just slightly lower than the back. This is only an issue in thick turf like extremely dense St. Augustine.
• The big wheels pick up more mud and gravel to drop on the driveway while putting the mower away.
