To determine the age of your Snapper riding lawn mower, you can check the model and serial number, typically found on a label under the seat or on the frame. Once you have the serial number, you can contact Snapper customer service or visit their website for information on the manufacturing date. Alternatively, if you purchased it new, the purchase date would also give you an idea of its age.

A belt on your riding mower may keep breaking due to several reasons, including improper tension, misalignment of pulleys, or wear and tear from age. Debris caught in the mower’s deck can also cause excessive friction on the belt. Additionally, using the wrong type or size of belt can lead to premature failure. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and resolve these issues.

The quickest, easiest way to determine the approximate "value" of common appliances, power tools, furniture, etc. is to search your local Craigslist ads to see what comparable items are being sold for. Appearance, age, condition and location will all affect the value. For lawn care tools, the season will also affect the value -- more people want to buy a riding mower in June than they do in December.
