Found a parts diagram SIMILAR to your pics, check the position of the hangers, I can't tell how yours are mounted from few pics shown, seems this mower was made in the early 90s, afraid you'll play hell finding much info on it , unless a member has something in their files, this is all I ran...

NO SERIOUS PROBLEM !! at our age, " Everything " is forgiven, ... excepting the Wife's Birthday and your Wedding Anniversary !!

Does it "smoke" while running, as mentioned earlier it MIGHT be your fuel-mix, I am among those that strongly believe in using the 100:1 mix, You will find arguments here all year-long for and against this issue, all I can say is, if you decide to try the 100:1 mix, BE SURE !!! you measure...

SEE Example...

Your Troy-Bilt is an MTD product ( along with many others) if you post more relevant info, (see example) ie. (Troy-Bilt Pony, or Bronco etc. ) try looking under the seat, for a label, engine info. should be on the engine itself . MTD used to have manuals on THEIR site, but recently let a...

I did a little pokin around, seems to me, you may be able to get parts and rebuild it, or get a used one ( if you can find one) but they were used in other machines as well ( mowers - JD-112 ) a few salvage yards might be of help, 1. Harald's ..2. Jamestown Lawn & Garden ... see this...

It really helps us to have the machines "numbers" ( see example) so we can help YOU !! engine numbers should be on the engine itself.

Yes even as Engineman says, It looks like your starter may have "went on a looonng vacation", everything is pointing that way, IF you feel everything up to the starter is good, then just pull the starter and test it off the engine, BUT be sure to check the engine is free to rotate, if something...

Here's a few pics of MY Briggs 17.5 OHV eng. wires, the 2 wires going under my starter (one black, one violet) are for the head-lights, hope this is of some help, ............

AHhh yes Tom, more food to digest ( LOL ) I don't know what's going on with YOUR ign. sw. but some probing in my files shows that you should have ign. sw. P/N 92377 ( 6 pole sw.) does your switch AND wiring match the following ... G = Yellow S = Orange L = Violet M = Black B = Red X = White...

Checked out your engine numbers, seems you DO have the Briggs OPPOSED twin. ( which I know nothing about ) my experience is with my own Intek V twin. I already sent you the O/H manual, ( hope you downloaded it ? ) and I could not locate an Original Briggs parts manual, but, they're copied into...

Tom, Bert is a very smart person ( about MANY things) glad he sent his procedures, and he's usually always willing to help, yeah being he's from "down-under" some of us have a lil difficulty in our interpretation of what he's trying to convey, but we all manage. I noticed you said you may have...

Tom, I have a "boat-load" of info. on Murray mowers, (so do other members) I will try to help as much as I can, it would help immensely if you could post some pics of your machine, including the engine. maybe we can get a close match, ( MANY Murray parts are interchangeable between models &...

Most older Murrays (and many other mowers) use a common solenoid, available at most mower shops and auto parts stores, see pics .. ... here's a video , how to test the solenoid, Taryl acts stupid... but is VERY smart ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvW7VbsleZ0 did you test the solenoid...

Kleles, .. I apologize for the bit of "mayhem" on your thread, as you see, some of us have "issues" with one-another on certain things. Just wanted to add that since it appears you want to take good care of your new machine, without doubting your intelligence, let me recommend, that ALWAYS ...

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new mower.. The salesperson don't know "jack-squat' , NON ethanol is highly recommended, BUT, if you can't get it without a hassle no-sweat, just be sure to use a GOOD gas conditioner, (such as Sta-bil or Lucas ) when you refill your gas - can at the...

I used to mow 3 acres with a 46in. cut 21HP Briggs powered MTD Lawn Tractor, several hours and I was done, a 52 in. should be more than adequate, oh yeah, engine choice, see attach. (click to enlarge) Sorry, I believe in "Bigger is Better" ... ( LOL ) I get this way sometimes ya know...
