The model number and serial number label on a Snapper Riding Mower is located on the lower right-hand side of the frame above the right front tire.
In 1951 William R. Smith realized that the growth in suburbs meant that homeowners were going to need products to help them easily take care of those lawns. The first “Snappin` Turtle” rotary blade mower was produced and with it, the iconic Snapper brand.
History. The company began in 1894 as Southern Saw Works. Later, in the 1940s, as the McDonough Power Company, it was acquired by William Raymond Smith, who changed the company`s direction when the lumber industry declined. Smith recognized a need for lawn mowers and patented a mowing blade.
Rotary walk-behind lawn mowers are generally powered with gasoline and have engines that are two horsepower to seven horsepower. Riding lawn mowers, on the other hand, have 13 horsepower to 30 horsepower engines because they`re so much bigger and heavier.

They have a long triangular face with the upper part sloping more strongly than the lower. Their jaws are equal, with the lower one sometimes slightly projecting. They have enlarged canine teeth, which is why they are called “snappers.”
Snapper mowers are still in production and have been since 1951. Fuqua Industries bought Snapper in 1967 from its original owner the McDonough Power Company. Then in 2002 Simplicity purchased the brand. In 2004 Simplicity sold the brand to Briggs and Stratton who remain the present owner.

Snapper series 23 wont turn over and when you try to manually start it, the pull seems to be locked.
ANSWER : That suggests that your piston is seized, but that may not be the case. First, check underneath to make sure that you have not allowed a build-up of debris that could be stopping the blade from turning. Second, remove the plug and see if the machine (since removing the plug will stop you from having any compression to pull against) will turn over. Might be a good idea to spray some WD-40 or something similar into the plug hole to see if that will loosen things up if the first two suggestions have no effect. You can, of course, (with the spark plug disconnected) attempt to turn the blade underneath. That would move your piston in the cylinder, and, once it is moving more easily, allow you to use your pull start to get the machine running.
Hope this get you started.
