My Murry rear engine rider is off to the scrap pile :frown: I have been trying to find where the model # is over in the Murry forum but can't get a response. :thumbdown: The mower broke a drive belt so I got a new belt ,took a lot of work to try an put it back when didnt know the proper routing of the belt. Thought I had it right but it broke that one too in about 5min. So I'm hoping before the junk man comes someone can help me find a model # the motor is new as when I got it there was only a part of a B&S engine. I got it out of a forecloser house for free ,it worked good till the belt broke.:biggrin: . The transmission has a built in 1997 sticker on it but that is all I can find , Even under the seat.Its a 30" 8.5 rear engine rider . :confused2:

First thing is look at all your pulleys make sure they move easy and are not bent.
When putting a belt on remember the flat side of the belt goes on the flat pulleys and the V side of the belt only goes into a V pulley and never on a flat pulley.

Post a couple pics of your mower and ill find you a model number that will work for you

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

Thank you for your advice:thumbsup:, I found a mobile service that my friend used, so I called him an he said when they brake belts it is a worn bearing:redface:. So for $125.00-$175.00 he is coming Tuesday and fix it in about two hours. He said he works on those model Murry,s a lot an he knows how hard it is to do when you don't know how to do it the easy way :drink: . Thank you again for trying to help:thumbsup: I hope he lets me watch :smile:.
