- In this video I’m gonna explain how to use different lubes in your drive train in your snapper. If you have any questions or comments put them in the box below or send me an email. And as always work safe have fun and keep on Snapping. Jim
I just bought my first Snapper. It is a one owner, garage kept, 1983 model. It has been sitting in the garage for around 10 years. I want to do everything required to put it back in service. If this means opening the transmission case, then I guess that is what I will do. Thank you for this video! I may have skipped over some critical considerations without it.
@ 10 min, it's called migration....BTW thanks for all your videos.
Another excellent video, Jim. Praying for those poor folks. Can't imagine what they have & are going thru.
Hey Jim ! Thank You for your helpful video & Godspeed to those fellow Americans in Kentucky & in there recovery efforts & I have quite a few relatives in Kentucky ! But fortunately they are on the eastern side of the state ! & our prayers go out to those who suffered.
Our thoughts and prayers will definitely go to all the storm victims. Jim
Tractor supply has "00" grease brand name is Super S. It is called cotton picker spindle grease at $5.99 a quart. works great and it's cheep.
my go to!
So they have it cause that's what I need i have 80w90 gear oil and read that could leak out because its thinner so is the cotton picker spindle kind thicker
Thank you for answering my question with this video! A little extra work but I need to do something as that old Snapper gear oil has never been changed! Thanks!
Well let me know what you decide to do and how it works out. Jim
As always great video Jim, I can assure you that I will forever be a subscriber and my bell will always be clicked. I always look forward to getting a new notification from your channel!
Well thanks for being a Subscriber and I will try my best to keep these videos coming. Jim
Really appreciate your awesome videos!
Well I appreciate all my awesome viewers and subscribers. Jim
your chair wheels sounded, for a second, like a woman complaining 🤣
Hi Jim - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I guess I've been lucky with my 1996 box section RER. I was afraid of stripping down the gear case for fear of opening up a hornets' nest so I just bunged in 80/90 gear oil up to the fill level and kept on cutting. The old grease must have blocked all holes as I haven't had any leaks! We've seen the tornado footage on the news here and it's impossible for us to comprehend the impact of such events. I hadn't realised that they could strike all the way up to the Great Lakes.
Hey Rodney if you ever need any parts let me know and I’ll see what I can do about getting them to you. Jim
I am subscribed Jim, you can buy 00 GREASE from Tractor supply company for 7 bucks for a quart. That is the cheapest price I have found Sir. Now that is a deal. Or you can mix half number 2 grease and 500 weight ford differential oil for the model T Ford will make real sticky grease like snapper lube that will not dry out. Also, my Snapper dealer said Snapper does not sell the lube any more..
Thanks for the information Sir. vf
I’ll have to check into that 500 weight differential oil. Thanks for the tip. Jim.
I can tell you that the original oil is different from the new replacement oil that they sell for a fair price. The original Ford differential oil which I have found at flea markets and year sales. Hope that helps and does not bore you with the facts. Good day Jim too. vf. @@jimjackson9381
Best channel ever for Snapper.
I have the older spindle style (new/old stock) and i have decided just to put it in a lathe and machine out two O-ring grooves in the proper place.
I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but it seems one advantage of using 90W or similar "fluid" is that a powerful rare-earth magnet could be mounted within one of the rubber plugs. This might allow the particulates generated through wear to be filtered out of the case helping to prevent further wear. Might make for a good experiment. The plug would need to be removed in concert with the magnet to keep the fines from falling back in, but I think that could be managed.
I suppose that would work if you could get something to stick to the back of the plastic plug, automakers have been installing magnets inside of their transmissions for years because the gears that they stamp out are not deburred. Jim
Nice shirt Jim.Praying 4 those poor souls.
Well thank you for your thoughts and prayers as I’m sure the rest of us are doing the same. Jim
Hey Jim..I'm kinda like you in this case..ill put whatever i think works..i use graphite grease in all bearings..of course i can't find it anymore but I'm still looking..I've used STP OIL TREATMENT before but i thinned it out with rear end oil it worked out perfectly ..hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year..
See you on the next one Cheers friend 🍹🍹🍹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ll keep that in mind the next time I need something in my gear case, and same to you and your family and have a safe and healthy new year. Jim
Love these videos. Is this gentleman still in business?
@@FIEROF55 yes I am is there anything I can help you with? Jim
What lube would you use in your snapper rear engine rider differential that you are really proud of and and want to make last and keep forever?
Thank you. Really enjoy your videos
And find them very helpful.
Jimmy
I switched to corn head lube from Reemans tractor in Fremont, used in combines. It loosens up to gear lube when rotating and then thicker up luke grease when slow
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THAT
No I’ve never heard of it I’d like to see how it works, I have a question we have a Fremont about 30 minutes from me what state is your Fremont in. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 Fremont Michigan, I met you at Craigs hardware gave you thatcher, I will email you
That’s why your username looked kind of familiar it’s been a while so you think that stuff rejuvenates the old dried up snapper lube I’ll have to try some of that out there’s a lot of people that would be interested in getting a hold of that thanks for the tip keep in touch. Jim
Capillary Action on Lucas products!
Thanks for your videos! I have had my snapper rear engine rider since 2005, and am thinking this winter I want to try and do some more extensive maintenance like you’re talking about with the diff and chain case lubricant.
Well, when you start, if you need any help, let me know, I can give you a hand with anything you need help with. Jim.
Hey Jim, great video per usual .
I’m rebuilding the drive train on my wife’s m301019be by watching your videos , or trying my best lol ..
How many ounces of Lucas gear lube are you putting in the chain case and in the differential please sir ?
My granddads 30084T or S is next in line for drive train repair so I’ll be looking for your videos of that model hopefully .. Thanks and keep up the good work neighbor , god bless !
If you buy a quart, it will do both the chain case and the differential and you’ll have a little left to add down the road. Jim
80/90 gear grease is what I used.
Jim, I'm with you on the tragedy. Hello Jim Jackson fans. We can help those folks. There are many organizations you can donate too. I sent $500.00 to Samaritan's Purse yesterday. Red Cross is another good organization. Pray for those folks, it could happen to any of us!
Well said jim
Well i do have some differential gear oil 80w90 and Amazon is out of that 00 transmission oil grease for the chain case
I checked this guys and his is almost out of grease or oil in the chain case I gotta put something in it and I don't mind what it is long as it wets those parts his sprocket teeth are still good I'm surprised
His differential is lubricated and good with old stuff in it I'm not gonna mess with that
But the chain case needs lubrication I have a bottle of 80w90 gear oil and I'm gonna use that maybe that and pump some white grease in with it. It needs something because those chain sprockets are almost dry the teeth are good
With you on the thoughts and prayers for the storm victims and families. My phone started acting weird and went through a slow death. Overall it took about 3 weeks to beginning getting my replacement phone in shape. One of the things I just found is I was unsubscribed to your channel. I have no idea how that happened but maybe there are hidden glitches to these updates?
Oh my goodness that’s terrible, subscribe as soon as you can I’d hate to have you miss any upcoming videos, talk to you soon. Jim
Thx Jim !!!
You’re welcome and if there’s anything I can ever do for you please let me know. Jim
Jim how about the word STICTION.
Hello Jim looking for a video on how to re- seal my snapper hi vac walk behind gear box. Any ideas or links? Thank in advance.
I don’t remember making a video for a walk behind gearbox sorry. Jim
Have a great holiday!!!!!!!
I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas and a safe and healthy new year. Jim
Why are there bird mouths? I don't understand did Snapper or Briggs & Stratton put that in there on purpose?
Hi Jim, I'm rebuilding/using an old 28 inch. I am wondering what color to use to repaint it with.
What I found that matches the best is rust oleum gloss Cherry all the big box stores sell it. Jim
My lawnmower repair shop sells the rotary brand of 00.grease for the drive system system on the rear engine rider by snapper what is your thoughts on this type of the rotary brand of grease
I don’t think I’ve ever came across that type of Grease I’ll have to check into it. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 Okay thanks for your reply
Lets all pray for kentucky.
Yes and Godspeed to them. Jim
Hey Jim how's it been Brother!
Busy lately I finally got all the leaves cleaned up so maybe I can move on to other things. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 yea I hate those damn leaves too.lol
@@stevestewart3816 Well to be honest I don’t mind picking up leaves with my snapper it’s more or less a quiet time to just ride around on my Snapper and enjoy the day. Jim
what does the bird mouth do jim? and what feature is it?
When the parts go through the assembly line and are cleaned that supposedly is a drain hole for the water before it’s assembled and painted. Jim
