Hello, Just want to spread to progress I have made on my broken down Murray mower. I had posted a short while back in another section that my flywheel would turn and looked for answers. Turns out the Tecumseh engine on the murray riding mower had seized at the piston arm. I pulled it out and...

In process of pulling engine to see what happened. Everything is off the engine now. I have a question on how to remove the pulleys. The pulleys are tacked to a metal pipe and that looks to be installed over the lower section of the shaft. There is no screws or bolt it kind of has a impression...

Hello again all. I have a Murray 1996 and 42828x8B, with 16hp Tecumseh engine. Mower has been working great all season. This weekend it started up and then after about short time stopped immediately. No slow sputter type but hard and fast. After that I got no crank at all. Went through the...

I want to change the blades on my mower but the one side I cannot budge for the life of me. I tried extension bars for better torque and anti seize spray, PB blaster and they are just solid stuck. Any ideas? Thanks

I have my 1996 Murray rebuilt and running great but I notice the tires are smooth and very worn. I get poor traction at times. I am wondering if it will be improved if I get new tires all around? It cant hurt right?

Thanks for the reply. The previous owner dropped by the original operator and parts book yesterday! I was close with the model number it turns out the model is 42828x8A. Boobala- the picture of the mower is right on except for the shift lever mine is not like that. The rest of the steering...

Ok looks like the riding mower I have is from 1996 and 42828x8B. I got a new battery, new gas and a new fuel line in and she started right up the first time with starter fluid blast in the air filter. It will start with choke on but die when I do not use starter fluid and pull out of the choke...

Thanks for the replies. I will let you know how things unfold. Here is the Tecumseh info-

I found another thread where the picture of the outside of the mower is what I have. Only difference is the color of the casing of the motor but the motor is still the same Enduro Tecumseh 16hp. He says his model number is 42828x8B I went to the manual site and it looks like it from 1996. Below...

Thanks, I looked at a lot of those one by one. I cant find mine Specifically. But It looks like it is form the 1996 or 1997 timeframe. The steering gear assembly is the correct style. Thanks

I have just acquired a older Murray 16hp 42" riding mower. The engine is a Tecumseh OHV 16hp. I have looked on the rear and under the seat for any kind of markings but do not see anything that resembles a model number. The mower did start last season and I need a battery to start and will...

I just acquired a neighbors old Murray 16HP 42" lawn tractor more of a project for my son and I than anything. I will try to post a few pictures. There is no serial number tag that I can find on this one so any ideas would be great.
