Bought a non-running mower, lets get it running again - No Mow Murray pt.1

I originally bought this mower to use as a mower and cut my yard. I bought it as a project knowing it hasn't ran in at least one year but I suspect it has been longer. After a new carb and desulfating the battery, I got it running but the front axle on this mower was in extremely bad shape. I tried to find a replacement but was unsuccessful. So, I will build a new front axle and compete in the AllTerrainLawnTractorForum 2024 build-off and have fun with it.
Stay tuned...

Cool build to follow!

These are really good older mowers and are worth the cost to rebuild them, plus the 3K ones are junk now, even a new short block is worth the price for other 25 years of service

Very informative mower rebuild video. Thanks for sharing. Lots of outdoor power equipment repair videos on your channel. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines
and you get the knowledge on small engine repair, maybe we would work together to help more people in the community?
