Hi, I am restoring a "classic" :laughing: Murray 42828X8B that sat outside for several years. It's coming along pretty well, but now I have noticed a small leak coming from the drive shaft seal on the Peerless transaxle. To access the bottom frame of the mower better for painting, I removed...

Re: OHV16 replacement carb - what to do with fuel solenoid? Good points. Attached is the wiring diagram and parts list for the original mower and carb. Wiring a toggle between the carb and the battery would be easy enough, and I could mount it next to the key, so I'd be unlikely to forget...

Hello I have a Tecumseh OHV16 204211B. It was left out for several years and I need to replace the carb. The carb on the mower is a Walbro LMK41, Tecumseh P/N TEC-640000. See picture below. In shopping around, I have been told by vendors that 640330A is the replacement carb, however that...

I soaked the carb for over a week in transmission fluid and then did a little cleaning with carb spray and a tooth brush. I didnt spend alot of time on it though. It definitely looks better. So now the question is do I just buy a rebuild kit and a new bowl, or a whole new carb? How can I...

My Toro 20071 mower locked up this summer and the blade wouldn't rotate. I turned the mower on its side and stepped on the blade, which forced it to move. After that it ran OK. I changed the oil and rebuilt the carb not too long after that and now it runs well. While I was doing that I took...

I have removed the carb, and did remember to take some pictures before doing it. When I opened the bowl, I found it full of something that looked like sand. I assume something disintegrated, but I dont know what it was. The bowl has a hole, and the bottom bolt it frozen on with rust. The main...

Greetings! I was given a Murray model 42828X8B for free and I am going to use it to teach my kids about engines and maintenance. The previous owner said the mower hasn't run in 4 years. The "Mfg. Date" is 96057, so I believe that would be in March 1996? The engine (Tecumseh Enduro OHV16...

Hello, I was given a non-functioning Murray riding mower for free as a project. It has the engine listed in the subject. Does anyone know where I can find a manual specific to this engine? I did find the "Tecumseh_4-Cycle_OHV_Engines_Service_Information.pdf". Does that cover all the engines...

Greetings! 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...
