Hi folks, I was just surfing around and found this site. Trying to find out some information on an old riding mower I found in a garage. it's a Murray 25 inch cut 6hp Tecumseh engine. From what I could figure out its about a 1990 model. The owner told me its been parked for years in there. The last thing he remembers being wrong with it was after winter storage one year he started it up, it ran ok but didn't go into gear. Now when it comes to simple things like changing the oil, spark plug or air cleaner I can handle that. But I'm no mechanic. I would love to get this old thing running and use it to cut my mothers grass which she has about 2 acres and I presently use a walk behind mower to cut it. This rider has a lot of safety wiring on it connected to the seat and stuff. I'm wondering if that is the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could troubleshoot this machine. Bill
