What model Murray do I have?

I have a 1997 Murray lawn tractor/mower and i want to know what modle it is.
This is the only info that I have, its from under the seat.
type 40304x76
ser no/ 73290871J05533
prod code 730208
1997
it has a briggs & stratton 12.5 hp engine and is a 40 inch cut.

do u have a pick of it

Should say right on the hood.

Otherwise, type in some of those numbers into Google.

already done that and nothing hence the reason I asked the question on here

Got any pics?

Does it look like that one?

or...



more like that one?

Either way, murray most often goes by the hp and deck size then by year. Unless it's a hydrostatic drive, then it's a different beast where part#'s come into play. so say, a murray tractor from 1997 would be...

97 - 12.5/40

Hi it looks similar to the bottom one except the bonnet vents are from front to back and there are no transfers on it except 12.5/40. and speed and grass cutting levers are on either side. could you please explain what is meant by hdyrstatic drive!!

If you have "speed levers" then you don't have a hydrostatic drive. Hydro is a hydraulic power transmission system. Controls generally boil down to a 2-way pedal that you push one way to go forward, the other way to reverse. Speed depends on how far you push the pedal, and there is no gear selector.

yes there are speed levers on it. Any chance you knowing what modle I have, the only info under the seat is type 40304x76

1997. It has a b&s 12.5 hp.engine. Also I want to rewire it, with a new solenoid and ignition switch. Should I go for a 5 or 7 pin switch.

I don't know what model you have, but it seems to be that you have enough info to order parts. A 5-pin outgha be fine. Here's a generic wiring diagram to give you an idea-

many thanks for your info

Anytime! Good luck.
