Major Murray Part 2 / Only $75 Spent

[@1oldsquare]

I'm 65 and love to tinker with old MTD riders. I currently have a dozen of them. Watching your videos over the past couple days has inspired me to "get jiggy" with at least couple of them. Thank you!

[@ericstonge3285]

Nice job. You should do a project building a front end loader on one. That would be great 🙂.

[@craws_ak]

I'm really wanting a snow mower.. tracks and ski's for up here in alaska

[@crystalcactuis.w]

This mower is the epic

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching

[@mtdracer69]

Major-----Murray is looking great! And he has my favorite engine! Thanks for posting!

[@livintheislandlife7561]

That v twin B&S is a really good engine. At low idle, it sounds like a mercury big block (offshore racing boat engine)

[@chud327]

Yes, I love the way it sounds, hopefully I can make an exhaust that makes it sound even better. Thanks for watching

[@GrantJohnston-dr9rt]

Now it s time for some General Mayhem with Major Murry!

[@chud327]

So true as soon as I get it going again. Thanks for watching!!

[@Dabaerr76]

Love the project. That hood is my favorite old Murray style. never saw a brown one tho. 👍

[@redheadzed0847]

I have a craftsman riding lawnmower I did the cut turf tires you taught me how to do that thanks 😊

[@maggielloyd1363]

love the video. IM GLAD THAT YOU PULLY SWAPED IT AND CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH THE DUEL HEADERS.

[@garygrose6351]

Absolutely love your builds. From sw Oklahoma down on the red river valley.

[@LIMowersAndMore]

Looks good for $75 only spent! I’m pretty much the same way with my mud mowers!

[@hacxer8424]

Instead of major Dan if he is the winner you should name it Lieutenant Dan 😆

[@jerryb1234]

On a regular vehicle that would be call the front-end wouldn't it?, lol, I was starting to think Wyatt had out-grown having any fun with old Dad, it's great to see at least one of the boys still out there kick'n it with ya, awesome video guys, thanks for sharing.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

I like the 'sand' better too, but either way, the fresh paint really looks great.

[@chud327]

I will probably keep my eye open for another can, but just my luck, they probably stopped making it. Thanks for watching

[@MurphyMower]

Nice build- enjoyed

[@redheadzed0847]

Great video I learn a lot from your videos

[@docink6175]

We just had a tractor supply open at Atlantic boulevard and St Johns bluff if you happen to be cruising the south side towards the beach

[@chud327]

Funny, that is the one I went to… thanks for the tip and thanks for watching

[@taylorpillow5603]

50 degrees. It's 18 degrees right now here in TN. Kinda cold their. 18 degrees here with a 10 degrees wind chill. Lmao. 😆

[@chud327]

That was super cold numbers for me and thanks for watching

[@shawnhagen6871]

You’re pretty good with the flux core welding man!

[@kennethaustin9439]

Love it chud,I’m actually looking at getting a motor for my green craftsman and should get some footage on it soon,seeing colonel in the back makes me miss my big gt🤙🏻

[@chud327]

Let me know when you get the footage and thanks for watching.

[@jordanhall5446]

Hey buddy, new to the channel and loving all the vids, best wishes from me and my family over in Williston FL

[@chud327]

Welcome aboard! I have been to Williston before... Thanks for watching and loving!

[@everythingfloutdoors.4442]

You should drop the psi in the tires, they aren't biting right. Other than that, coming along great

[@fightdhr8866]

Major Murray got its on air show😂..Funny fellow

[@chud327]

Thanks so much, cool to get a fly-by. Thanks for watching!!

[@rickbroerman9267]

Where do you buy your sand tires. I Love them and would like to get some for my mower. I might try tractor 🚜 supply by my house. Thanks again I your videos..

[@chud327]

I find 95% of my tires on Facebook marketplace. Good luck and thanks for watching

[@Lynn-ww7lh]

Love the video nice job man

[@russellmiller2801]

Those are flood lights. Spots have smooth reflectors.

[@waynemiller4869]

Thank you for the Great Video! Very entertaining. My GAY brother was as excited nas you were about the color coordinated clothing, I believe that he called it accesserising???

[@chud327]

I am not sure, I just like the camo look. Thanks for watching!!

[@kadendaugherty339]

Another good video

[@joshsadventures1776]

This is really cool. Makes me wanna go keep working on my tractors. I got an old craftsman garden tractor like colonel, but it’s a hydrostatic. Having issues with it after I changed the diff fluids, it won’t move!🙃 Question what welder are you using? I’m trying to look for a decent one that’s not super expensive.

[@spudstudios3342]

Lincoln handy mig

[@spudstudios3342]

You also need to pump all the air out and then it should work

[@Caleb-yy2jt]

What size is that rear pulley you have on that pearless 820? that is on that Murray.

[@blazegentry6319]

Have you ever welded a mid 1990’s peerless transaxle I welded the diff up in one And the side gears and spider gears just broke it just seemed to me that it was just junk material

[@chud327]

I have welded up two, but I don't know what kinds. One was in my John Deere and the other was an FNR Troy Bilt. Thanks for watching.

[@stevenmay8763]

Are you putting the rope start pulley on that one as well

[@august7324]

Just started building a John Deere 111 race mower and your videos are helping a lot, also where is the best spot to get tires from?

[@redneck_auto_tech]

Facebook market place and some local motorsports shops might have used tires for cheap or even free

[@chud327]

Like Hayden said… I find 95% of my tires on marketplace. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build.

[@maggielloyd1363]

I WOULD RECOMEND FACEBOOK TO BUT I GOT MINE ON EBAY.

[@RedRabbit4230]

Just really really curious @chud327 where abouts in FL. DO you live? Was born and raised myself just outside of TALLAHASSEE, Fl. ( Quincy ) now I've just north of Birmingham, Al.

[@chud327]

I am way over just north of Jacksonville. thanks for watching.

[@canamrider7195]

What's the story with the Silver Bullet? Carburetor?

[@chud327]

I haven't messed with it much since that Smokey day at the river. I have disliked that carb since day one and should try to find a performance carb to replace it... Thanks for watching.

[@mbhenstra5312]

Maybe you can make a protecy plat3 on the bottem of the mower protect's the belt

[@garymercer1975]

may i ask what size tire is on the front, thank you

[@chud327]

19x7x8's, thanks for watching!!

[@jasonmushersee]

part 3 wife asks "what happened to the bed"

[@chaddesantis4191]

That patina paint job needs a super fine SOS pad and some shine juice! Derek mixes some up at around 26:00 when he cleans up this old car. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnWacqmHj9SMmbc Really hope you do a patina tractor up nice, Major Murray looks like a perfect candidate!

[@countrycrew4208]

Quick question where do you buy tires for your projects

[@chud327]

I find most of my back tires off of facebook marketplace and about 1/2 of my front tires come from gopowersports.com. thanks for watching.

[@J_Beazy223]

Hey chud how does your clutch engage system work on major --- Murray ? I have a few of those MTD/Yardmachines/tradesman GT 1848 with the high/low gear down in the center and thenThey have cvt style infinite speed selector that gives a range of 1-7 on the fender. I just don't know how this would hold up if i do a pulley swap. Bypass it and do custom clutch engage with just high/low or see what the cvt thing does and send it?

[@redneck_auto_tech]

Sadly they don't hold up to pulley swaps

[@chud327]

Mine does not have cvt speed selectors, it is just pulleys and belt. We did pulley swap a couple of fnr's, but have not put a bunch of use on them. So far they are doing great. thanks for watching.

[@J_Beazy223]

Ok thanks. Good to hear. I didn't think the cvt selector would hold up to pulley swapping from the experience ive seen so far. Chud I believe you have another video with a custom clutch engage set up. Im looking for other ideas.

[@jtautoflowerguy1576]

Are you located anywhere near north west florida ?

[@chud327]

Opposite, I am far east over by Jacksonville... thanks for watching.

[@homersumner1373]

[@harryabrahamsson7965]

Hello Chud327. I wonder how Manny lawn mower do you have😂

[@chud327]

I have about 10 mud mowers that run, probably 5 additional that are parts or future projects, and 1 zero turn that actually cuts grass. Will try to do more videos that show the whole fleet. Thanks for watching.

[@jgsn5029]

You mess with any go karts or minibikes?

[@chud327]

I have done a few go carts and I currently have a mimibike I need to fix up. Thanks for watching

What speedometer app are you using? I liked the drone shot also.

[@chud327]

Do you mower race

[@chud327]

I don't, but I have watched it before... I don't think mine would keep up and thank you for watching

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

The better part is that this mower sounded a lot like the troy bilt but with V Twin but sadly got a different engine so it isn't on troy anymore

[@chud327]

Thanks for all the watches!!

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

In fact, my car actually has some kind of lighting recall/ lawsuit and Nissan is beating around the bush… the low beams are like candles… I could use some lighting help on the car. Thanks for watching and just let me know.

BULLSHIT, tires cost more then $75.

[@chud327]

For you, but if you watch, I had the tires already in stock. I got the back for free and the front were free from a different place. You just gotta know what you are doing. thanks for watching.
