GREETINGS to all Murray equipment owners!

If you're new to the forum, please reply to this thread and introduce yourself and your Murray power tools (that is, if your mower has a name). Maybe attach a photo or two of your equipment.

Also, if you haven't done so already, you can upload a user avatar (picture under your user name). You can do so by clicking on settings and "edit avatar" or just click here.

Please be helpful and friendly to all other Murray owners (how could you not, right?) and if you like this forum, tell your friends about it.

We want to make this the best resource for Murray owners, and to do that we need your help! Questions? Experiences? Stories? Data? Photos? Articles? Links? Cool Murray stuff? Post it here!

Last but not least, please let me know if you have any suggestions for the site. We'd love to hear them.

Hello I'm kgrant. New member. I've got a 2003 Murray. Bought at Wallmart I think. Just removed the trans-axle. Working to make one fit. It's gonna take some back yard engineering. I just thought I'd look around here and see if some others have had to do the same.

Too bad Murry and Peerless went belly up. Of course I didn't spend a lot on my rider but I was disappointed when I removed the transmission and the poor shape it was in. Looked like some better bearings where the input shaft and axles enter the housing could have helped the mower last much longer.
I purchased seals etc for the peerless on a Murray lately. They are still alive.
