Wow, never heard of a Bicycle by them! Murray's are mostly build pretty badly, but I have to hand it to them, they generally made good looking tractors. And the decks (or aat least the red ones) seem to be painted really well. Gotta agree, they did use good engines!!!
I have one of these, I tooks of the side pannels , replced the gear box with a 3speed, and put on a 12.5hp briggs opposed!! I have cut through 6ft high thick weeds and grass withvout it ever boggin down!! just need to get some belts
I got a Murray bicycle, believe it or not! Murray made in my opinion the most POS sheetmetal tractors besides maybe MTD. at least they used to put some good motors on them, like this 8 horse Briggs and the old ones with the cast iron opposed twins.
Wouldn't scrap a mower in this condition. It cleaned up really well. If I had the space I'd keep alot more tractors just for spares. Thanks for the comment
well that was what i thought also, but i looked at it and it looks like a factory setup, o well all i care about is the fact that it works really good!
Well I only realy like the older, more unique ones. I bought it with the intention to fix and sell it, and now hopefully it will sell for at least £80 Yeah, I like them alot too, kinda a weird thing to like, but they're easy to work on, especially the engines, and make good off-roaders if you can't afford an ATV.
@georei I bought this for £30, one of the cheapest Ive got. Spent maybe £5 on it, and sold it for a £147 profit. Those were just two I had lying about. You could adapt anything to fit really, especailly if you have access to a welder. Im sure you can get something suitable from ebay, or another tractor supply type place. Not sure what is best for that kinda stuff over in the states (:
I have this same mower but not as nice as this one. I paid $100 2 years ago and it still runs. Where did you get the deck wheels at? I need them on mine to help keep the deck level.

I've got one of these with a 13.5hp and it's a craftsman model.

It's an 87. You know your stuff. But yeah, this is in great condition for it's age, thanks for the comment!
@Calloween1 You may as well dude, better to sell at the start of the cutting season though
I have one now and I can't find a replacement battery. What battery do you have in it?
That, and the slight problem it would need to be shipped overseas. Thanks (:
Maybe it was replaced? Although I think I have seen one before with a Tecumseh
How u change the drive belt. Or stop it from piping off all the time just picked up one yesterday ?
I can get one of the old ones with the 3 speed from my grandpas farm should I fix it up and sell it?
I never understood my 8/30 has an 8hp tecumseh, but all the other ones Ive seen have Briggs on them. weird
