Need Murray Model Number Help

Can someone put a model to this? 42 inch and 6 speed. The engine isnt original. I tried 42571x8a but gear shifter is on the left side. Mine is on right side.

Hi Davbell

I think you need to look all over the mower for a serial number tag on the mower. There should be one on there some where , on this tag will be a model number of the mower you need this information to get a model number. Lot of times its on the back of the mower frame where you would hook some towing equipment to.:licking::licking::licking::confused2:

If the engine is original, post the engine numbers and I might be able to do a reverse cross reference.

Engine isnt original. I think this is the correct model 42828x8b

According to this schematic link here it looks correct with the shifter on the right side.
I have the same Murray at home and will double check my models number this evening and get back to you.

So Murray is calling it a 40in and not 42in according to your photo.

Measure your deck size as they could have made a 38", 40" and 46" in this style that I know of. Maybe a 42" also.

The blades are 21in in length and real to edge of the inside of the deck.

Here is the model identification tag on my Murray. It is a OHV16HP Tecumseh Enduro Industrial Commercial engine and a 42" cutting deck. It is similar to yours but different as the headlite lens is one piece all the way across grille instead of two piece.
Model #42817X99A
