need help identifying murray model

[dan706]

I just picked up a murray widebody lt 14.5 hp 42 inch deck hydrostatic
Problem I'm having is the model # under the seat can no longer be seen making it difficult to find the correct parts
Was hoping I might be able to find someone that might be able to help me id this thing
Thanks
Ps tried to upload a few photos but says files are to large

Try resizing the pictures. Second, post all engine numbers so we have an idea of the possible year.

The closest I can find is a model 42512x99A, but I can tell which engine it has. Two questions, can you take a pic of the other side of the unit and what parts are you looking for?

If you take a dozen or so photos of the ID tag at different angles then load them into a photo editing programe you usually can get the numbers to reveal themselves .
Two ways of doing this
1) invert the colours, some times called "make negative "
2) keep increasing the contrast.
Remember to only work on a copy of the photos so if one thing does not work you can go back to the original, make another copy & try some thing else.
IF you have a young person in your house hold then ask them to help you.
The nephews have never forgotten the time they were here & I pretended that I could not get it to work .

As for parts I'm looking for all deck hardware and some steering parts

You should be able to recover most of the information from that tag.
The background white has faded less where the printing used to be
Unfortunately the human eye can not resolve white on white but a camera will see the differences and can bring them out .
Even more so where he print was the surface is smoother so more reflective than where there was no print .
Just follow the instructions given previously and it is important to move the camera from square on to about 30 deg to get the right angles to highlight the differences in reflection of light .
