Welcome to the Murray Forum -- Check in Here First!

[SeniorCitizen]

My name is Buck, I bought a used murray 46581x92 it ran great for two seasons then started having problems. I've replaced the deck belts and cleaned carb and intake. It runs ok now but I need to replace the drive belt and somehow refill the hydrostatic trans. Problem is its a 2000 model and murray.com is no help and I can only find exploded parts diagrams and I need actual manuals.

**********************************************************************************************
All Murray owner / operator manuals I've ever seen tells how to change belts.

Being the Murray transaxles are considered non-servicable I doubt you'll find that information in their manual. As Boobala mentioned, maybe someone on the forum can help. I have a Murray but never considered transaxle maintenance so I can't help you with that. Sorry

Hey Buck ......... forgot I had this in my files, don't know if it pertains to your particular trans. but check it out.

Hi guys!

I have just joined this site. I am from the Gold Coast Australia and live on two plus acres. I have an old 2000 model Victa / Murray ride on garden tractor (* Lawn mower )

The model number is VRO 4216HX The VRO stands for I think, Victa ride on. At the time Murrays made the mower in the US and rebranded them Victa which is the name of the famous Aussie mower.

I have the original owners manual and was looking for a Workshop manual. I see one of your forum members has stated that Murrays never produced a Workshop manual only the Owners manual which at least has line drawings.

We changed the motor from 16.5 hp to a 17hp about ten years ago and it still starts first time every time. I keep wearing out belts so would like to tighten up and get things running a bit smoother if possible.

I am not real mechanically minded but have a workshop so tend to tinker and it seems to get me by.

At the moment, the push pedal is very loose in the forward position and no go. But when I put it in reverse works ok. Trying to see a diagram of who it is supposed to look, I am guessing something has dropped off, because I cannot see where the problem is.

Hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

Seeing a lot of these mowers, regardless of the brands, run on similar systems, maybe somebody can direct me to a decent workshop manual { free is good, but if I have to pay, so be it. )

Thanks

Pete

I am brand new to this site and would like to start with a post but am lost in how to do it but will try.
I am the owner of several Lawn Tractors but have a request regarding a 1996 Murray 42" mower, Model 82816B powered with a Tecumseh Engine Model OHV16-204212B. I am in need of the lower Crankshaft Oil Seal. The seal has
538744 CR USA stamped into the race. The number seems to have no value to Chicago Rawhide or any on-line parts house. If someone has a recommended vendor or replacement part number I would be grateful in you sharing it. I am reluctant to remove the seal for exact measurements as a leaking seal is better than no seal at all but it approx. 2.1" OD and the ID is approx. 1.6".

:welcome:

In the grey headder bar click on forums then click on Murray in the list that appears on the left a bit lower than the headder bar is a gren button that says "Post a new thread". click on it.
In the new window type in a name which represents your problem like "VRO 4216HX eats belts + loose motion control "

Then explain exactly what is happening with your belts ( which one also helps ) and what you pedal actually does.
We only know what you tell us so explain it as you would to a blind person.
