Lifted Murray

maybe some frame stiffining supports,as i noticed its the pressed style frame and i know they like to flex as i got the same frame lol , its looking good tho!

Ive seen dynamarks and MTD's with the huskee name on them - its either a different model name from AYP or stores that sell them - like yardman, mastercut , white, ect.

what do you mean by frame supports?

BUMPERS!!!! Front and rear .

Stamped steel, bolt together frames are pretty weak angle iron reinforcement is usually a good thing. Some (like me) go to a full tube steel frame.

Anything you can do to stiffen the chassis helps in holding thind together.

How do i go about putting bigger tires on the tires i wanna put on are i think a 5 bolt pattern but the ones on the mower are just the single shaft if the center how could i make the new ones work?

Find some 5 bolt hubs, my Montgomry wards has 5 bolt hubs on the 3/4" transaxle shafts.

Well guys got the bumper done and most of the back have alot of grinding to do lol. On the rear end should i box that front in too or leave it open??



Let me know what i should do next love hearing what you guys think!!

I would close up the gaps in the rear box, just for looks. Next thing to do is the 15" rims and tires !!!

I think i might box it in its just it will be harder to get to the chain is all. Im also looking at putting old pick up tires on there!

Well ill let everyone know what i get done today

hey guys sorry i havent posted anything for a while i will hopefully have some pics tomorrow but as of right now its kinda hard to explain what i did to it.

Even if your weld are perfect, I really would plan on adding some supports for the front axle, It's never fun to hit a rock and slam your work into the ground...I do a little sword work and a while back I had the sord breakoff directly after the weld, SO I hope it wouldnt happen on a bigger scale like this.

How in the hell do i get my freaking tires off the axle i had a big mess cause it wouldnt come off

Are they bolt or clip?

Either way, the way I got my tires off my MTD FNR axle was to take the bolt off the end, and using a grooved piece of metal (like angle iron, I used a metal green fence post) and nestle it over the inner shaft of the rim from the backside and tapped on it till my tire popped off.

Can be hard though. Might want to wait and see if anybody has anything better to say.



Be sure that when you put your rim back on the axxle to use never-seize or some grease to help with it not sticking.

WD-40
Torch
Hammer
Big punch
Lots of cussing

They have E clips i get the rim to the end of the axle and thats it.

Sounds like the end of the axle might be mushroomed a bit. It could be just a ridge caused by the wheel moving a bit on the axle.

Slide the wheel back and file the ends of the axles to make sure there is no ridge or something holding them back.

Had the same problem on a PTO shaft the while back. Had to get inside the U joint with a die grinder and grind the end of the axle down a bit

Well come tuesday when i go to school i will try grinding the axle down just a bit and hope that it comes! Wish me luck!!

Hey guys sorry i havent posted anything so heres my new up date put 15in tires on the front and im waiting on some back tires i also put front fenders on but dont have a picture yet



Thats why i need bigger back tires



Theres the front
Let me know what i should do next!!

Looks good.
What kind of rear tires are you getting for it.
Mabe you cold do a foot throttal>

I getting 14in rear tires because 15 will make it sit forward too much and im planning on doing a foot throttle when its all done

hey guys sorry i havent been keeping you all up to date on the lifted murray mudder. will i got the big tires all on and its painted black now and i found a 20.5 hp motor for it and got it on the other night now i need help with my hood the motor is too big idk how to put my hood back on

I would bend the sides of the hood out to fit around the opposed.

I had the same problem trying to fit an 18hp oppy twin under the hood of my racer (which originally had an 11hp single. I made a large cutout along each side of the hood, and filled it in with a flared out section. If you want, you can just make the cutouts and leave it at that.

if you leave the cut out, i would suggest getting some of the stuff they use to cover the edges, give it a cleaner look
btw those tires look good on there to me, this thing has came a long way man good work
