btw, for those who don't see the post in the ride on mowers section, i'm trying to identify the model number of this mower and eventually find a manual. the nameplate is missing. any help would be appreciated.
it is marked as murray craftsman 12ic/30 industrial/commercial engine, 12hp briggs and stratton engine model 281707 type 0415-01 code 90042331 (manuf date 23 apr 1990), peerless gear model 754B 0113 0925. it is a late 1990 or early 1991, the deck (drive) belt is a 37x27, the blade belt has been replaced with a B77 size.
i do hope patience and determination will pay off for me!
