Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snapper rear engine rider, mower decks, engine hp

Question
Hello John!!!
Just "received" a snapper rear engine rider. I am looking to locate the model number tag or stamp and also an addy for the mower. The blade is 32" and the engine is a 12hp B&S built in 1988 but I haven't been able to locate the mower ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Morris

Hello Morris:

On the Snapper the Model Numbers are Located on a Silver Sticker on the Battery Box or on the Seat Tube. If the Sticker has been Distroyed/Damaged/Worn Off or Removed, then the Following should Help Locate a Manual. 1988 Models had 30" and 33" Mower Decks. The First Part of the Model Number is the Deck Size. Then the Engine HP and then the Series of the Mower (7 or 8). Go to this Site Addy, http://www.emerichsales.com/home.asp and Select Shop Online Parts Look Up. Now Select the OEM(Snapper), then Select Rear Engine Rider. Then Select the Series. Yours should be a Series 7. Then Select the Model Numbers 33127BE. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
