Greetings! This here is project Anne Murray. (Best I could come up with, and figured she's canadian aswell, so it would work well!)
It's a 1980 Murray gt16. 16hp opposed, that supposedly runs, and a pearless 2300 out back. I purchased this tractor in the fall of 22', mounted my ATV tires on it, and then life got in the way. It hasent been touched since (as you can see by the 3ft snowbank around it)

-Project description-
Going for a good all around offroad build, something I can fly around at decent speeds, but when asked, can go around most obstacles, whether that be mud, rocks, gravel, or inclines. This build will feature -
- Stock engine, ungoverned (have a backup engine if need be, 20hp intek v-twin)
-peerless 2300 with a locker
- pully swap, thinking of a 1-1 , this may change
- full frame reinforcements
- steering reinforcements + heim joints
- steel bumpers, front and back. Possibly include a 3000LB winch on the front
- Lighting (rock lights + front LED bar)
- hand operated brakes (possible hydraulic)
- foot throttle (of course!)
- Custom exhaust to keep the operator awake!
- skid plates
- storage (ammo boxs)
- full electrical rewire, to include tether (possible instrumentation aswell)

I'm sure other add ons will happen, thats how most of my projects go! I plan to drag it into the shop in a few weeks, as my other projects are nearing completion, and my garage is full of snowmobiles at the moment.


I have included a few photos aswell.[23] Craftsman Mudder --  Project: Anne Murray 20230110

Evening guys! Little update nothings really happend. Been about -25C/-40Cthe last few weeks so haven't touched Project Anne Murry yet. However have been gathering scrap steel for building, and a 3500# winch aswell as other small bits. Nearly done my other build, the list is getting smaller. Once it's done, il drag Project A.M into the garage! Will keep updated when I make progress!

This is exactly why I like starting the B/O on Jan 1. Most cannot build at this time, but you can gather parts and when it warms up. Building can be easier! Nice update!

Quick little update the gears are starting to turn on this build. Drug it out of the snow today, nice workout,only -26C today. Also got my new winch for the build, and have been gathering other odds n ends. Gonna start tearing into it over the next few weeks as the weather slowly gets warm.

Well finally turning bolts! Weather finally is maybe taking a turn! Just had 6" of snow blow in last week, as a last hurrah for winter here in Saskatchewan. Got the murry gutted of all mowing related items, and most of the wiring. Probley going to be pulling the engine next. Had it running and driving, but seems to burn some oil. Il open it up eventually and probley throw some new rings in it,and do a valve job, or come to think of it  I have a 20hp Intek V-Twin in a parts mower.. choices choices... hmmm [23] Craftsman Mudder --  Project: Anne Murray 20230414
