Snow Blower "mechanic" needed

[Walleye Guy]

I need someone who can work on an 8hp Snapper snowblower. The engine runs great. However the drive is starting to slip. Its a 1991 that I bought after the second huge snowfall.

If anyone can recommend a reliable small engine place that can look into this I would greatly appreciate it. I have researched few but most sem to service what they sell and my dealer is out of business. I live in Chanhassen but would be willing to drive to find someone reliable. If I can give the business to a Fm'er, all the better.

Thanks,

WG

I know my local hardware store does repairs like this, don't forget to check your local hardware stores, in case nothing else pops up.

That ain't bad. 1991 and its starting to slip now. Snapper makes good stuff!

I have never worked on a Snapper, otherwise I would describe to you how to resolve your problem.

I'm sure I could fix it, but I don't want you to have to drive to Blaine for your problem.

The belt is most likely worn out and just needs to be replaced. Not very costly or time consuming.

Call any hardware/small engine repair shop, alot of them deal Snappers, and tell them your problem.

Odds favor they'll reccomend a new belt, and when you go buy it, I am sure someone could give you a run-down on what to do.

I'd imagine the friction disc needs replacing.
The business you bought your Snapper should do repair and sell parts.
