    Back when lawn tractors where still made to last, the newer ones only last a few years, glad to see another one brought back

      Agreed, I've worked on tractors that were just a few years old that had deteriorated very quickly

    Those older Murray’s were actually pretty cool, and decently built.

    In the end, it sounds like its running rich. The old plugs verified it, being severely carboned up. The carb could use a complete rebuild. Good job on the starter!

      @philliphall5198 Год назад

      I agree and probably best to pull head and clean carbon off before it hurts piston

    • @ballhammerindustries
      @ballhammerindustries  Год назад

      I agree, there might have been an air bleed or an issue with one of the mixture circuits that wasn't letting enough air in. I normally pull off carbs and clean them even if I don't think they need it, but I just wasn't feeling it on this machine! Thanks for watching!

    Great looking tractor in real nice shape. That was an easy straight forward starter fix too... I have a couple of Murray's as well

    • @philliphall5198

      They will be running when we’re dead and gone
      For real. 😊

    • @ballhammerindustries
      @ballhammerindustries  Год назад

      They seem to be good tractors, and yes I'm glad the starter was a cheap and easy fix! Thanks for watching!

    I have a 1987 Model. It runs but carburetor started leaking. They don't make parts for this model any longer.

    • @ballhammerindustries
      @ballhammerindustries  5 месяцев назад +1

      It's a shame they don't keep up with parts production, but I understand at some point it's not economically feasible to continue. Good luck and thanks for watching!

    I see there's a hole on the seat i recommend using duct tape (i used duct tape on my 1990 murray lawn mower seat)

    I have one just like that except mine is an oil leaker

      Fix it this winter while you don’t need it

      Luckily this one didn't leak oil!

    Would it be possible that you send the make and model number? Its under the seat. I have the same one but you can't read it and I need a new carb

      It sounds pretty much like a lawn mower. Before I upgraded due to necessity, I used to have a 2015 Poulan Riding with a 12.5 hp engine. It pretty much sounded identical to the engine in the Murray.

    • @ballhammerindustries
      @ballhammerindustries  Год назад

      It definitely wasn't running as well as I would have liked. Thanks for watching!

    Hey bud I had a question for ya about one of your other videos but I dunno how you’re supposed to get ahold of someone on here…wanted to know what the tooth count was on the gear reduction setup ya have

    • @ballhammerindustries
      @ballhammerindustries  2 года назад +1

      Hello, the drive gear on the motor is 11T and goes to a 72T on the jack shaft, the other side of the jack shaft has a 15T and the final drive shaft has another 72T. Let me know if you have any other questions, I enabled comments on the original video. Thanks!
