Howdy, I've inherited a Murray 18HP, 46" and the ID sticker on the rear is faded..
Any thoughts as to how I can get a model# of this beastie?
A few pix if that's helpful, and I can certainly take more tomorrow..

From the engine number ie will be a 95 or 96 model.

Take a photo of the faded ID tag at an angle.
Pop this into a photo editing application then invert colours of if it has it "make negative" filter.
This will make a negative image and he nubers will pop out as if by magic.

I have around 60 Murray mowers.
This is a 96 I will get you a model number tomorrow that will work for you.
These mowers make the best off road racing mowers.

thanks much.
I can tell you the 1st 2 digits on the engine "CODE" are 95
someone said that might indicate the year..

A trick I picked up when working for a contractor who had a police forensic contract,
Although in those days it was a case of wet under developing the film.
Digital photography is good for things other than the kids taking selfies.
