Murray WideBody LT 12/40 . A "New" Riding Mower Project

[@andrew4403]

I had a few of these Briggs & Stratton engines. The engines are nice and solid easy to work on and they run forever

[@FarpointFarms]

The flathead models are the best for sure.

[@philliphall5198]

Best mower ever made and the seat is dam sure the longest lasting seat period 😊

[@FarpointFarms]

I agree the seat is really holding up well. No rips!!

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Good looking mower 👌 Happy Easter to you and your family . Catch you later

[@FarpointFarms]

You as well. Look for a new video on the RCI this weekend. Great radio!

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Farpoint Farms Awesome ,hope you have some skip or at least some active locals . Doesn’t take huge power when you have a good antenna and conditions . It should be doing 150 or a little better on AM , and 200 on SSB . The twin to that radio is in my truck and it does that , and mine has a lot more miles on it . Enjoy it , that’s why I donated it . 🇺🇸

That little tractor is an 01 or 02 model. I had an 02 just like it and owned it from 2005 to 2017. It was very reliable. The only items I replaced was the gas tank and drive belts. I sold it for $300 in 2017.

[@FarpointFarms]

I love it so far. I think the gas tank on this one is leaking as I keep losing gas. I put a fuel shut off on it, but it's still leaking. Next step is the tank. Thanks!

[@brownsrvlifecampground9322]

You made a cool video 😎

[@FarpointFarms]

Thank you very much.

[@stevemccoy8138]

Looks good 👍, I've got a old Murray petal tractor that I'm going to restore, should be fun. Thank You 🎙️

[@davidg4081]

Nice find Eric.Hopefully you'll find a nice old Wheelhorse we we're talking about.

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm always looking! It was great meeting up with you at the HAMfest.

[@davidg4081]

[@georgehill5489]

How do you adjust a Murray 14.5 OHV/40 shift linkage, maybe 1993, wide body, no neutral or reverse.

[@TikiTroubadour]

any idea of the drive belt size? i have the same Murray but my engine has been switched out to a 16 HP. Orig engine was 13 HP ohv. Thanks for any help.

[@leothefox4528]

I have the exact same lawnmower at my house right now

[@Juanmartinez-np4vk]

What is the cereal number

[@grant.m.ball0603]

Those older Murray's were manufactured about 3 hours away from where I live

[@amosgreen8782]

Do you want to sell the deck off that mower I need a deck

[@kevinkevinscomputerrepairm8705]

I just bought one almost identical. Mines a 2001. I'm 52 and I finally got my first ride on mower. I paid $550.00 Canadian. I hope I did ok. :)

[@FarpointFarms]

I think you'll love it!

[@brianangel8201]

safety start switch circuit is not working right so they put in a manual start switch.

[@bro.weaver1282]

Is Midnight Cafe discontinued?

[@FarpointFarms]

No! It is spring on the farm, and sadly, life has really gotten in the way these last few weeks. Rest assured that we will be back! We may have to do pre recorded shows for a few weeks, but by fall we will go back to live work. We may also ho live randomly as we have the time. I'm also planning a live chat here on farpoint to celebrate 15k subs and 4 million views!

[@JUGGERNAUT606]

Nice Man👍

[@ayp1938]

that push button isnt factory the switch probably messed up so they replaced it and its a 2001 according to the numbers

[@andrew4403]

Looks to me it's a 2001

[@FarpointFarms]

Thanks for the info!

[@benrandomly2016]

I think it's an '88 by the mid 90's most LTs came with OHV Briggs and Kohlers.I've been looking for one of those old 5 or 6-speed transaxles for my MTD built Bolens. My LT has the pulleys that slide apart to change the speed of travel. The axle is an F-N-R only. No gear selection on the axle.

[@mr.somewhere2678]

RatRod that thing stat.

[@bell527]

I think it's a 1992

[@FarpointFarms]

thanks for that year info

[@grant.m.ball0603]

It looks modified

[@grant.m.ball0603]

It's a 2001

[@fracturedhearts3734]

I have had good luck with the Murray riders.

[@MeatHookCannibal]

Look at the engine cover they should be a plate riveted to it it will say model then type then code the first two numbers in the code is what year it is

[@FarpointFarms]

Thanks for the information
