I got a 1969 snapper and it now needs a ring job. What do you think this is worth? Keep or shoot?

Mine is 25 years old this year. I put a new engine in it five years ago and it works just fine. I'd fix it if the rest of the machine is in decent cond. Check the price of a complete engine @ Small engine warehouse. For me it was best to replace than repair the engine.

Which one is it? I have an LT16002 and LT1250 which I have had to combine to make one decent one. If it's in the LT range I would keep it and re-build it. It's a good little workhorse and they don't make them like that anymore. I know I also bought a 2007 Craftsman GT6500 and spent close to $4k on added implements and such. Whole thing was a complete P.O.S. all plastic and no "oomph" to get anything done other than cut grass on a flat surface golf course style. Took it all back (after a month) and am making the Snapper work now. Just my two cent's worth....

well,if it's mechanically sound other than needing rings,I'd fix it.set of rings and a few gaskets has got to alot cheaper than even another used mower..
