Murray or MTD

scottee01 · May 9, 2011

Hey folks I am new to site, but I have a question bout my Murray riding mower. I am trying to find a bagger for my mower, it is a Murray which I have had for about 7 years, bought it new. I seem to recall reading something that said MTD had bought out Murray. I need to know if this is true so I know what I am looking for. Thanx for any help, and I will be talking to youall soon, Thanx, Scott

MTD did not buy out Murray, Briggs & Stratton did, I believe in 2004. I dont think that Murray exists anymore (as far as making equipment goes) - Walmart used to sell them and now they sell MTD (yardman) like everyone else. Kind of sad because Murray made better tractors overall.

They are MTD under the Murray name. The parts for the original Murray are still through Briggs and Stratton/ Murray.
