| This is my murray I've built recently. It's my go to tractor for doing work and having fun, the most reliable one I have, and works well. Some background on it. I traded 2 cheap LED light bars for it off of my jeep. Got it right before some snow we had, first snow day I took it out with my other offroad mower (at the time sold off now) and I slid into mud and knocked the bead off the rear tire. ![My main murray Image20](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/45/46/83/image20.jpg) Then that night my friend and I welded a front bumper on it, put another set of tires on the rear and put some snow chains on. ![My main murray Image21](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/45/46/83/image21.jpg) So that gets us through the snow. | |

| Once I had good tires I decided it was time to lock and pulley swap so that all that tread could go to good use ![My main murray Image28](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/45/46/83/image28.jpg) ![My main murray Image29](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/45/46/83/image29.jpg) That's the case on the welding table after getting it stick welded, then the pulley was a pain to get off and had to use 2 different types of pullers tl finally get it off in a few pieces. I swapped pulleys, locked the rear axle and added bearings all in one go. After that it was a whole different completely sketchy tractor. | |

| looks good, my first tractor was a murray widebody, but it had the bigger fenders. My first tractor I built for off road was identical, right down to the missing headlight. | |

it's been a good little tractor, always starts up, takes a beating and keeps going. I'm not sure why they all seem to be missing lights... | |

| Does anybody know how to/if I can upgrade the charging system on my Briggs and Stratton 12.5 to better handle the winch. It drains the battery really quick and then it won't start afterward always. | |

| Anyone know if/how I could mount these rims on the front of this mower? I figured I got 4 for free, they have good tread. Why not? If it's just not an economical idea, anyone have a suggestion for some nice front tires for my mower that are on the cheap side. These turf savers suck turning and they have a lot of slow leaks. ![My main murray Image67](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/45/46/83/image67.jpg) | |

| Well I'm not really sure how it happened but the govorner is broken on the mower, it runs way too fast, and it's easy to stall out if I push the throttle lever down so it won't run ridiculously fast. Any suggestions on where to look or what to do about it... | |
