Murray Street Mower

Hey guys, I thought I'd show you a little about my Murray "Hot Rod" street mower. It started as an early 90's Murray pro 18hp twin hydro. I don't have any pics of it stock. Just a little video.
From there I redid the wiring, lifted it, and painted it black.

Then I chopped the bump under the driver seat (Murray Pro sits extra high) and lowered down the fenders. And I added pin striping and side bars.


Then I really started chopping. I lowered the front to about an inch of clearance (now I can't ride it because I live on a dirt driveway on a dirt road!) and I added tail lights and brake lights.


Then I swapped out the hydro trans for a 6 speed, put in a 15.5ohv engine, and now it sits waiting for brakes. I know that's not a very good explanation, but I'd be happy to give more details and post more pics (recent ones too) if anyone wants!
Here's a vid I made asking for help with the shifter just after I put the new trans in.

(you can really see the white lettering I did on the wheels)

Thanks!

very clean build but what type of 6 speed are you running a spicer or a peerless

Thnak you. I believe the transaxle is a peerless. Not certian though. It came out of a late 80's Craftsman.

lol plus if someone ask about your mower and ask you what kind of tranny your running that would be bad lol

Hah, ya right. They're all pretty similar. Peerless 6 speed transaxle.
