Welcome to the forum by the way, lots of new recruits these days, you planning on a restomod or just a straight restostock?

Hi
picture of the project:






I will ask for help with this

That's a neat little machine, it looks fairly complete and in decent shape! Do you know the model number of it?

Welcome back!

unfortunately i don't know anything about it on a data board it says:



and this number is located on the engine cover: 190707 0856-01 74100911

now i am looking for a forum for a description, electrical circuit, engine mounting manual.
ggole has unfortunately not helped so far.

I can't really read the data tag too well but it looks like Model Number : 8-3233 (8HP, 32" cut, # 33) Date of Manufacturer is really hard to read but it looks like 4289?

The engine code is saying it's a 8hp with an aluminum cylinder (known as "Kool Bore") with electric start, made in October 1974.

I'll look later and see if I can dig up any more info on it.

Thank you very much.
numbers on the nameplate:
date of = 5-3233
manufacture = 4289
lawrenceburg tenn = 3846
unfortunately the nameplate is worn.

I know it looks that way, but old Ohio Murray name plates got skewed sometimes.


Model is 5-3233
Date of manufacture is 4289  = 289th day of a year ending in 4. Since the engine code if original and looks to be.  "October 16, 1974" OCT, as @Brianator stated.

Nice one @MightyRaze I wasn't sure how to decipher the date code on the machine (yet).

A little poking around between calls and what I've found has me thinking it was built by Roper, Models K831 and K832 rear engine riders were both made in 1974 and had 8hp Briggs and Stratton engines so we could be one step closer to finding a working manual for you! Hopefully anyhow! Lol

Thanks for the help.
This makes it easier for me to search the forum posts.
