Re: NEW MURRAY MTD MOWER

I already have a Murray, so you don't need to worry about me. :laughing:



Of course, it's not much of a mower compared to yours.

Re: MTD MURRAY

Primer One-Two-Zero,

Welcome aboard! It's about time some of you guys that have been following this insanity chimed in! We need the input! We need more pictures! We need something that is related to lawnmowers to discuss! However, with that said, your lawn doesn't look very healthy! Looks more like typical Florida sand to me! If you have been mowing that spot... STOP!! It's good enough and you are going to ruin your blades if you keep it up!

You say you have Honda mowers.. we accept Honda mowers here, but it is nice that you have a Murray.. Boo-Boo will be happy..

Don't be a stranger! Y'all come back now, Y'hear?

Boo-Boo,

I would like to point out to "Bert", that it was not 'I' who blurted his name all over the page.. It was YOU!! You may now need to seek succor elsewhere...

Boobala,

If you research the recall here is what it says: "What is the problem?

A drive gear in the lawn tractor's hydrostatic transaxle can fail causing brake failure, posing a crash hazard to consumers.

First I would wish anyone with those tractors luck in ID'ing the transaxle as we have discovered that the model numbers were changed numerous times.

What puzzles me is what gear is it that would fail and cause a loss of brakes? The transaxles I dealt with have a disc brake that is attached to the shifter shaft. You lock that shaft up and the axle can't turn unless a main drive gear failed.. You think they have started making those gears out of plastic?? I gotta go look at my transaxle pictures again...

Yeah, I was right! Look at the following picture and you can see the brake is on the shifter shaft and locking that shaft up locks up the pinion gear that drives the main axle. Maybe those hydro axles are dramatically different inside?? Anybody got any pictures of them?

Chuck,

What year is it? Why would you rebuild it? It looks pretty darn good to me!

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

1984 and I want a show tractor. This model is a full mini tractor. I love the looks as a survivor but it has some issue you can not see. I want to take it to parades and stuff now that I'm getting older I figure I could attach a trailer and drag my grandson around in it.
