Hi Everyone,
I have an update on the Murray project. We decided that since it was a beautiful day out yesterday we would start just about everything up and let it run for a few minutes, and that included the Murray. We go to start the tractor and it don't wanna start, it just keeps crankin' and crankin' and crankin' and mind you the battery is getting weaker as it's turning. My stepdad says the motors tired and most likely full of oil that's why it don't wanna start so then we keep crankin' it till the battery stops, then hook up the charger and let it charge, then spray some starter fluid in the carb, we go to start it again and it fires right up. After that we get it out of the shed, cruise it up and down the driveway and of course we have another problem...... the gas line comes off the gas tank and gas is running everywhere on the tractor while it's running. My stepdad was riding the tractor around and luckily I watched all this happen so I stopped my stepdad and he shut it off, cleaned up all the gas on the tractor, and reapplied the hose to the tank. It was fine for the rest of the 5 minute ride up and down the driveway. The tractor has done this before and my stepdad fixed it but we decided to finally throw in the towel, and order a new gas tank on Ebay that cost around $70.00 with shipping. The number acording to the seller off the tank for ya DAC (MFDAC) is 175475881924.
