Finally getting the murray back on 4 wheels! ----------------------------------------------- Like my page: / fearlessfront Email: fearlessfront@yahoo.com
I definitely think that model 31 Briggs will serve you well. I really have nothing bad to say about them. Probably my favorite single, aside from the Honda GX's.
I'm running that same 15 hp in one of my tractors with your same carb. The carb actually cleaned up how the engine ran, same as when you upgraded your old engine. Better power all across the band, better throttle response. It's a great engine, has lots of power, and its been more reliable since the carb swap
That’s awesome that he helped you out!! I happy to see that it’s on four wheels agains!! I can’t wait to see the engine rebuild vid!! I missed your vids Todd!!
Fearless! When you designed your clutch you made the belt tension higher then it needed to be. Excessive belt tention can damage imput bearjngs over time. Made lower it slightly and your imput bearings will last alittle longer. Nice idea with the grease fitting. Keep it up man!
That is actually a great idea Todd. I picked up a 2002 Murray Widebody GT 21hp/46" yesterday. It has a 5 speed Peerless 820. My plan is to put that in the 88 Jacobsen Homelite LT10. I appreciate the idea. Take care.
Someone's happy about there new shop. Great informational video. I may try the grease fitting on my 820. Stoked about the engine build. Let's get this show on the road bud.
Hey Todd. Love the vids and after reading some of the other comments you've been on a bit of a haiatus, hope all is well. I've looked through and can't find a 4wd conversion. I'm in the process of a design for my Craftsman for daily work at the barn (need tools before toys). I dropped a "tweeked" Kohler 25 into it and it truly is a beast and I also have a Peerless hydro available to match the one in the rear however, I'd prefer a "start to finish" plan of attack as "Crafty" will be out of service during this process and "Homy don't push no barrow 'round no-mo" (150lbs of Draft horse shit does a number on the lower back). I know there's a viable option and wouldn't mind spending a reasonable amount for the components because it is a tool and not a toy, those will come in time. If you could shed any light on this or refer me to any others in the group I would certainly appreciate that. Thanks in advance . . . John
where ya been, bro? feels great to finally see a video from you (i'm an old subscriber, but renamed my channel recently, with the intention to do similar stuff like what's on your channel)
Hay todd this may sound stupid but here it gos when you have one of your custom belt tensioner with spring and swing arm how do you get slack in the belt when you push in clutch mine needs to stop spinning at the crank pulley so when clutch is pressed belt stops and has slack at the crank ???
Mine cracked on the case where it bolts onto the mower on one side. I acquired a bottom case and I’m going to swap it and just jb weld the top case crack to hold the grease in and hope the bottom part holds the whole thing together 😬
Hey Todd, I just pulley swapped and locked my Spicer 6 speed per your video. Locker is working nicely but now this rear end screams as I’m driving. Is this normal? I’m also leaking gear oil pretty badly out of one of the axle seals. Guess I’m gonna tear back into it this weekend and also replace gasket material around the entire case. Any suggestions?
I have a 11/36 1996 Murrey lawnmower that I just got its been sitting for at least 10 years and after fixing the wiring is refusing to move I have it down to the transmission so thank you your trans looks similar to mine so hopefully I get get it out and look at it. Also anyone feel free to message me if you know anything about these types of problems
Question what part of maine do u live in if u don’t want to say thats fine i live in oxford and i do the same stuff you do I’m thirteen and cant do that much of stuff but i still enjoy riding my tractors
Hey i have a question about using transaxle in go carts.. Looking to run a transaxle to a live axle. Inwant to run a chain from one side on transaxle to a live axle.. I know if i leave one axle dangling it will spin instead of one with sprocket attached.. So what would happen if i welded the dead axle side of transaxle to my kart frame so it dont spin? I know the side with the sprocket will spin. But im worries making my transaxle a constant " one wheel peel" to drive my live axle my ruin it? May randomly engage on wrong spider gear or cause excessiv3 h3at because it aint moving with reat of axle??? Should i just be safe and lock it if i want to run one side of axle? Hooking a sprocket on both sides of transaxle to live axle just seems dumb
IMO, if the input shaft pops again, you should take that cover to a local shop, have it lobbed off and mount with screws in the case a new sleeve bearing and jazz. If you make the section on top wide enough, it shouldn't have any issues with breaking the alu top. Spreading the load and all that.
That's actually not a bad idea, I'd really love to find an 820 to swap it out with... they're just tough to find in my area. That would be an interesting solution though
I locked my Murray 205 527D. It moved freely prior to reinstalling. I know you said in the video it may be tight at first. But it is so tight the engine Boggs down. What could be the problem.
Hey fearless front, question? I see alot of people questioning a pully swap on a hydrostatic diff. From my research its the pump that cant handle the pressure from the rpm increase that causes it to blow apart is my assumption. Whats your idea/knowledge about the cons with pully swapping hydros, is it possible? Cause the pressure difference would be my assumption to failure.
It's totally ok to spin it by hand without oil. You're not generating any kind of heat. Now, if you forget to put oil in in use, well, that's a different problem.
Hey welcome back. Ready to see the master back on the trails. I have a question before I dive in to a situation. I have a 20 hp briggs v twin id like to atv carbrate. What size carburator would you suggest. Good luck with the muarry. Its because of you I even mud mower. Ty
I'm not exactly sure, but if it was me I would probably try to run a dual carburetor setup. I know I've seen it done before, maybe check some racing mower websites for more information.
Hey can anyone help me, so i was trying to do a pulley swap on a mst-206 and i was banging the shaft pretty hard and once i managed to get the stock pulley halfway off, I pulled up on it and the pulley came off with the input shaft still in it, how do i fix this?
In your opinion, will a 930 peerless hold about the sme amount of oil? BTW, I am going to convert it from grease to oil. Is that really necessary though? Thoughts?
Adding a zert is smart and a hose to outside of frame would be great ideal, they AllWAYS rust the brging and can freeze the shaft Thanks I’m doing this on next one I fix
That is DEFINITELY worth doing. It's amazing how cheap the manufacturer is, letting the axles bear directly on the case like that. Out of all the Peerless transaxles I've torn down, I've only ever actually seen axle bearings installed from the factory on 800 series and 820's. never on 900/MST.
I don’t know if you will reply but I have watched most of the craftsmen crawler videos and the the 2013 update video and it was next to your garage door and then 2014 update it wasn’t there what happend ?
