Anything is possible with enough skills, tools and money. I would say the best and cheapest way would be buy a used or new 4X4 garden tractor.

What about getting front and rear differentials off an ATV but how would I go about powering them?

Just get a ATV frame and put the mower body on it like every one else.
It can be done but by the time you get it done all that will be left of your Murray will be the body and parts of the frame

It sure sound like a dream to me, but if you decide to do it lets see some pictures.

Lots of cutting and a whole lot of welding
It is a ATV frame with a mower sitting on top of it.
If you want something to play in the mud with the Murray is a good start it has the best built frame of any riding mower. Go on you tube and search FEARLESSFRONT. look at Murray build there are steps to the whole build from pulleys to a better clutch.
Not that i'll ever get to start on it,but i've wanted to do a wild blown 4x4 mower.
I have went so far as to collect most of the needed parts though.
My plan is to use an old 4 wheel steer mower i've got.
They can be hard to find,but a buddy came across one for me about 5yrs ago.
Same buddy gave me the smog pump I intend to use for either a supercharger or to drive a small turbocharger i've got.
Anyway,4 wheel steer mower has a transaxle in rear that utilizes a cv joint type setup.
Pulley is on top.
I figure i'll use a combination of lower engine mounting along with a jackshaft to drive both the standard rear transaxle and the front mounted 4 wheel steer axle.
Gearing them could be done with using appropriate ratio pulleys.
The only actual building has been in my head,though I did mock one up at one time.
This was pre 4wheel steer transaxle,and I got as far as a 12" lift and didn't know about mowers or have a good welder so it was shelved and eventually mostly scrapped.
Post up if you build one,I would love to see it.
Look up the all terrain lawn mower association.
