Hi there all,
I recently acquired a Murray Ride-On
It had previously blown an engine and somewhere along the way a 12.5 Briggs was installed that runs poorly and blows SMOKE like a Metalica concert. This replaced what I understand was a 15.5hp though I don't know the brand.
It's a twin cutter deck and about a 42" so it's a good size for me (I have 2 Acres).
It's in pretty good nick so I figure a new decent engine, battery and belts it may be worth salvageing.
Q1. Is it worth it ?
Q2. 16-19 or 20hp if I do re-engine it.
Q3. I'm considering keeping it to replace my Rover Rancher is there much to gained.
Q4. What are anyone's thoughts on this unit Positive or Negative. I understand that this has a Victa equivalent as most Victa's were Murrays re-badged 'til '06 and MTD's since then.
Before I throw $$'s at this I'd like some opinions on it being worthwhile.
I'll follow with some pics soon but the chassis is in very good condition and I'm sure a Chonda, Bwiggs, will work to re-power but do I end up with a mediocre nice looking unit when my Rancher, whilst a little rough around the edges does a good job.
Thanking all in advance
Bill
