Lifted Murray

if you leave the cut out, i would suggest getting some of the stuff they use to cover the edges, give it a cleaner look
btw those tires look good on there to me, this thing has came a long way man good work

Since your hood is pretty close to mine... Don't mind the crappy line drawing, but if you look at the red lines I added, it's a simple, easy cut out that will clear the heads, leave enough structure, and still be able to fasten it shut...

Your murry looks cool.
For the hood i would do what Doc said cut part of the hood out.

Thanks everyone for the ideas ill try cutting that out tomorrow now the muffler is another problem it comes down right in front where my hood mounts are at any suggestions there?

if its got the hole in the front of the frame(which im sure it does) run a pipe outta of there then run it back

Hey do you think you can get some pics of the rear end?

your lucky with that having stock chain drive lol ive only seen one of those....i wanted it so bad lol, the old man wouldnt sell it though, cause he still used it to cut his 1/8 of a acre lol

ill get pic of the rear end tomorrow so i have another problem i got it running today and after shutting it off and trying to start it again it wouldnt hardly turn over i did a volt test and the starter is only getting 4 volts what could be the problem

check connections, make sure the wires coming out from under the flywhel are still in good shape,.....idk what else lol iv'e had those things i listed happen to me before tho lol, also make sure the battery is got a good charge

well i hooked 12 volts right to the starter and it didnt do much so could it be the starter. i also took the starter out and tested it and it turned on but when its in the motor its like it has no power to turn

you might need to rebuild the starter, grease the bushings. stretch has a thread on it somewhere, but that's my first guess

Well i need some help i drove the beast today and when i push the clutch in it wont stop i got a belt that is already too big for it on there. I dont know what to do when i shift the without the clutch the chain binds up and falls off bending the tensioner. I dont know if i should put another clutch system up by the motor to completely disengage it but I dont really know how i would go about doing that so any help would be great thanks!!!!

well everyone i cant get the beast to work. I finally gave up with the chain. last test drive chain bound up and bent the frame and broke a tooth off the peerless. So now im trying my luck with belts i put a belt pulley on the transmission and bolted a pulley next to the sproket on the rear end so wish me luck when i get a belt and give it a go

I got everything good to go im happy now i do have a question has anyone ever tried welding a die cast pulley to a harden steel shaft what setting on the arc welder do i use i had alot of problems with it

if its aluminum it will not work

I got the pulley on good now but the belts slips alot and i got tensioners on it so the belt is really tight any ideas how to keep it from slipping

there might be some oil on the belt. you could get some real fine sandpaper or emry cloth and rough up the pullies.

Hey if anybody is close to sioux city and would like to buy or trade something for my lifted murray let me know i am trying to get another project going
