I have a partial 3-bin bagger kit ..... # 24767B in East Tennessee. **** It is missing the tractor receiver mount. The 3-bin cover is cracked (but could be plated and riveted/bolted). It's actually cracked much more than the picture shows, as the listing is old and its been stored a long...

Update: The tensioner arm was indeed wallowed out. The shoulder bolt is still usable. Maybe I can get someone to weld up a washer in there or weld it up & re-drill it to fit. Thanks for your comments and knowledge.

OK. Thanks, Bert. Never knew there was a bushing in there, nor a lube zerk. I'll tear it down in a few days and see what I can do to fix it. Thanks for the info.

46" deck. 2004, I think. This is my 3rd Murray wide body 46" mower since buying my 1st one in '98. I really like them. I know the decks well, I've replaced numerous spindles, blades, pulleys, belts ..... but I've never dealt with this before. How do I tighten up this slop at the arm pivot...

Looking through this thread again for updates and realized I never confirmed the model #. You were correct ... E1

I had a 17.5 opposed twin (flathead) doing the same thing ... blowing fuel out the intake/air cleaner upon attempted start-up. A compression test told me which cylinder was dead (0 compression) . I pulled the head off to find an air cleaner to carb screw was lodged in the intake valve...

Runs good as long as it doesn't shut off. Once you shut it off, the seat falls out. Lol Running on 1 cylinder:

It's a flathead. The valve is in the block.

I do have a friend that is a machinist .... he mentioned the oversized seat thing .... but then said .... "but at that point you usually just junk it." Damn!!! A coworker suggested using JB Weld to hold the seat in ...... If I attempt this .... as a last resort .... how can I press the...

Thanks guys ..... It was very loose. The block was pretty worn. I attempted the staking method but it fell back out within 3 or 4 revolutions. Looks like I'll be swapping in the other engine I have. ..... I think the engine I'm hoping to swap in has a different pulley mounting setup...

Thanks, slomo. I was hoping there was an easy fix that didn't require disassembly. I bought it for the good condition deck, but the rest of the mower appears to be good. It needs to be mowing!

So I bought this mower with a dead cylinder. I pulled the offending flathead to find the valve seat had come loose. See video ... Is there an easy procedure to fix this? What am I looking at?

One tough transaxle (hydrostatic) ..... 1998 Murray.... The attempted wheel removal for installing new tires. Unsuccessful. Wedged a landscaping timber against the mower's frame and the Jeep bumper. Fashioned a wheel puller to the wheel and attached to the 9000 lb winch cable. Thew an...

In a heartbeat ..... 1998 Murray 46" deck 17.5 hp Briggs Stratton horizontal twin (flathead). Hydrostatic I know, cracker jack mower..... but let me tell you .... it has been an AMAZING trooper for 20 years! (Stolen 2 years ago). Stored under a roof for about 3-4 years after initial...

Any touch up paint codes or colors known for the late 90s early 2000s Murray red riders? My hood is peeling.....

I have an old Murray rider (believed to be a 2000-2002 model) and I'm trying to find a front bumper for it. The bumper I've found is a muffler guard/bumper from a different mower but same engine model #... … and I might try to make it fit on the tractor …. but just wondering if it will...

Local parts store had a matching 3-pole solenoid (Husqvarna) that fit & worked perfectly. Here's what running over a spool of trimmer string will do..... Locked up the blades in an instant. In-action shot of Mom's place that had been neglected for a 3 weeks. Grass was so high the blades...

Just to bring my wanderings back on topic, here's mine getting clogged up with grass doing just as you described. Mother's place hadn't been mowed in several weeks. It took a lot of cross-cutting and re-cutting just to distribute the clumps..... With brand new sharpened blades and new tight...

Yeah, probably right. These were on the mower when i bought it at the end of last season. They were worn down quite a bit. Figured I'd use them (sacrificially) in favor of new blades ..... Admittedly, I was doing more of a bush-hogging some neighboring "woods" than actual mowing and didn't...

What he said ….. the long grass may have clogged up the deck or chute …. and the blades won't turn. The engine is probably turning the belt on the blade pulley causing the belt to white smoke (& squeal). The other blades are probably turning, but one of them is not, … causing the unbalanced...

Just a quick update ….. while scalping the yard and mowing rocks, I unearthed a larger rock than normal with the front of the deck and it went to town on the 3 blades, chewing them up beyond "repair". It also cracked a spindle housing. Also ripped the leading wheel mount a bit from the deck...

Here's my newest powerplant on my Murray 46" rider (Hydrostatic). Pulled the covers to replace leaking fuel hose, add a fuel cutoff valve, changeout air filter and clean up the cooling fins, etc. Here's the engine codes I could find. Engine runs great! Starts right up with a little...

New Member … East Tennessee. Long-time Murray owner. Bought my first Murray rider brand new in '98 at Walmart. 17.5 HP opposed twin & 46" cut hydrostatic drive. Model # 46573x92A Still have all the manuals and diagrams for it...…….. Owned it for 20 years. Amazing flathead engine ran like a...
