If your Snapper mower deck was damaged in an accident or if you just want to rebuild your Snapper mower, you will need to know how to remove the deck properly. The Snapper deck is attached securely to the underside of the Snapper frame with tension springs, chains links and has the belt in the blade belt drive connected to the top of it.

Step 1

Slide a block of wood under each side of the Snapper mower deck. Let the deck height handle all the way down to the lowest setting. This will make the tension springs, belt and chain links very loose for disconnecting.
