hey guys i got a free working murray widebody lt for free, it has 12.5hp briggs, 5 speed. started stripping it yesterday, took off the hood, deck and the motor. today im gonna continue stripping all the deck shit off of it. will have pics up later

Hope its not the powerbuilt 12.5 - those have a tendency to throw rods- specially when low on oil , the rods are built weaker in that series motor- an upgraded rod out of a 14.5HP ohv would keep it for grenading.

it is the powerbuilt 12.5

here are some pics of the progress i made yesterday, probly wont work on it today, too windy and too cold


side shot, any suggestiona on what to paint it, and mods?


hood, and the power built 12.5 briggs


1996 mtd that came with it, both free and running. 14.5 briggs I/C Quiet 7 speed


and to end it off, a pic of my shop dog, bo

hes a purebread boxer, we also got him for free, the breeders needed to get rid of him and so my dad brought him home. as for the color, i was thinkin black and yellow also, or maybe black and blue, or black and red.

yea his snought isnt very long actually its just the picture, and he doesnt have much white on him like most boxers, boxers rule. as for the color idk yet, im kinda goin towards black and blue (ive always liked that combo) or do like my truck is, black on bottam, and spray leaves on it whith another color

Cool tractors- i want to find one cheep enough like that style murray - so far havent seen any of those less then $400 ( too much for me to spend).

I suppose since that powerbuilt 12.5 is still running - keep an eye on the oil ( id add STP or lucas oil in it) .

yea, once we came around the cornor and saw the two mowers, when we were picking em up, i saw that murray and right then i knew it was worth it, i really like how the frame is on the murray, its like a car

maybe a lime green orr sumthin.. i dunno. My craftsman looks good in the mat black. I like the orange and black idea like this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwYSlDcY_Sw&feature=related
I think il paint my viking tractor like this

yea thats a cool paint job, but i would be afraid to scratch it lol, i want something simple and i wouldnt have to worry bout scratches

then go fer a black. i think personaly it would look nice in black

yea that was what i was thinkin, black with blue highlights

yah some LEDs I have bush lights for trucks on mine. SO BRIGHT
