anyone got one of these?

I still have an old murray 12.5hp 40" cut model. engine runs strong.. 1-2-3 and 5 gear works. deck is near shot.. have rethreaded both spindles. yet she still runs near 16ys old... :)

was looking at the new 'snapper' looking murray witht he 24" cut for tight spots since i have very little lawn.. however neighbor in other part of our neighborhood is moving and selling this black hooded murray and a push mower and a powered cart. don't know anything about the black hood models.

any info.. idea of year? value?

thanks

If its powerd by a B & S, look at the first 2 digits of the Code #. That will be the year. Many years ago Murray owed so much
money to briggs that when they went under, briggs took them over. They also have purchased Snapper as well. Couldn't tell you much about the Black hood models, but you know how to maintain and use equipment so whatever you get will last you a long time.

Chris ...Look at my sig. line...I have one of those I bought in around 2000 at HD...and it has been bullet proof...I love it...the only thing I have ever done is replace blades, one spindle because I hit a big rock...change of oil , filters and other maintenance...I paid $ 999.00 for mine on sale....I can tell you I can mow fescue a foot high or more and the thick...it goes right through it....Hope this helps...I'd buy another one for the right price.

It's raining here everyday too...during the day and then about 5PM it starts again and then wakes us up at midnight...still better than the drought we've had for years...;) Tractor will probably still be there ...no one else walked in the rain either...LOL
