desperately trying to find part for this Murray (scott's) model 22965x8B....she runs like a top but the deck is rotted out...trying to find a replacement deck (part number 7501002) (part number one on parts listing). A good clean, used deck, not too rusty would work for me and I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for it. I hate throwing things away. Anyone with one of these with trashed motor etc who wants to give the deck a new home?
Hi My name is Robert and I have a Murray riding mower that I inherit when I bought this three acre property which has issues as well but I will post that later. My main concern is getting my ol reliable back an running again and that is my Murray 5.75 Quantum push mower. the rope won't retract but have manage to get that to work, and what I mean by that is before I put it back together I tried and the rope wound back in the pulley, now the issue is when I pulled the rope it locks up and won't let the rope retract. I've post the same message but I guess I was in the wrong area. If you have any suggestion on how to resolve this please feel free to let me know what I am doing wrong
Hi, my name is bob.
I have a murray 405000x8E riding mower; have had it about 10 years or so; has never failed me ..until....
I went out to start it today and nothing...turn the key and not a sound; so I went and bought a new battery; put the batter in and still the same result.
Turn the key and nothing...not really sure where to start.
any help / guidance would be appreciated.
thanks!

I was given a Murray model 42828X8B for free as a pet project. The owner said it hasn't run in 4 years, but I think that's an exaggeration. The "Mfg. Date" is 96057 = 1996?
The engine (Tecumseh Enduro OHV16) appears to be in decent shape, but the body has quite a bit of rust since it was stored outside. I haven't tried to start it - I know that could do damage. The gas tank was flooded with water, but the engine oil appears old but OK. I'm sure I'll be posting several requests for assistance in the near future. Speaking of which, the owner didn't have the key. I assume this is no big deal; I can either 'hotwire' a new switch into it, or maybe turn it with a screwdriver.
Any advice, warnings, etc before starting this project would be appreciated. I don't intend to sink a lot of money into it, but I don't mind the manual labor and am pretty good with engines.

Hi just joined. I am a scrapper but I decided to keep my latest find and maybe start a collection of them. I picked this up yesterday for free, today I bolted a plow to it, but am having issues getting it started. I can't get a click a whirrr or even a spike on the ammometer. It had no plug when I got it and I went to autozone and got what I think was the right one (would it do anything if sparkplug wasn't there?) Its a 12hp commercial industrial motor by briggs and Stratton. Tractor is model 40608a. I also got a tow behind spreader, if I can get it started I'm going to reinforce frame and use to clear some driveways by me. The pic of wire was disconnected when I got it not sure where it goes to

Just joined the Murray Forum today, I just bought a 2004 Murray Select with 46in. deck & Briggs 21 H.P. Intek Twin cyl. , in process of TOTAL rebuild , wife wants to kill me over it but she lets me stay out of trouble tinkering with my toys. I have actually bought a strong engine which is attached to a set of tires and a bunch of metal that the wife says would be a great boat anchor ...... God I love her !! got plenty of photos to share ( when I learn how to upload them ) Ive done a ton of research on my particular model but also learned a lot from places on-line too. Just replaced the transaxle BRAND NEW - $ 79.00 + S&H ( about $100.00 total ) , talk about luck finding parts ..... replacing the Variator pulley assy too , ( $ 185.00 NEW ) REALLY lucky on that part. ( usually a $220.00 to $285.00 item ) Anyway , will try to update my story soon and hope to contribute some info. to help others , 1 tip for now.. a FRAM # 3614 oil filter works fine on this engine , ( about $4.00 at Walmart ) beats the hell out of a $ 12.00 B&S anyday !!
My name is Buck, I bought a used murray 46581x92 it ran great for two seasons then started having problems. I've replaced the deck belts and cleaned carb and intake. It runs ok now but I need to replace the drive belt and somehow refill the hydrostatic trans. Problem is its a 2000 model and murray.com is no help and I can only find exploded parts diagrams and I need actual manuals.

Welcome Buck, Sorry to tell you that Murray NEVER made service manuals for their equipment, just the few adjustments in the owners guide. But you can learn a lot from this site, the folks here have a lot of info, and are very helpful. Sorry for not being of any assistance, hoping things work out for you . later Boobala ..:welcome:
