| I am not sure what year this mower is. I do know that it has a 16h B&S with a 42 inch cutting deck that is currently not attached, it also came with a snow blower attachment. The transaxle is a peerless 2348 which I will probably keep for now. What I plan on doing to it this spring. Pulley Swap Lock Transaxle 4 inch lift to accommodate larger tires replace steering rag with steering u-joint custom glass pack exhaust custom gas peddle relocate brake peddle lay some new paint This winter I plan of ripping it down and doing the following. Replace transaxle Leaf spring suspension on the front end. ![Getting Started on the Murray 7p10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/7p10.jpg) ![Getting Started on the Murray 5p10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/5p10.jpg) ![Getting Started on the Murray 4p10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/4p10.jpg) ![Getting Started on the Murray 2p10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/2p10.jpg) ![Getting Started on the Murray 1p12](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/1p12.jpg)

| Yah I still have to finish the bumper, figured I would lay it out and get a few pictures of progress. I work in a metal shop and operate lasers and waterjets so I have easy access to metal. The bolt hole plates to mount the tires that I made last week took a matter of minutes to draw up and cut on my machine.
Are there any suggestions or ideas that you guys think I should do or would be a better option than what I currently am thinking of doing. | |

| For now this is what I was thinking of for a tire set up, basically what I had lying around in my basement. The rear tires that were originally on the lawnmower will be moved to the front and a set of quad tires will be put on the back. Both will require custom mounting plates to mount to the lawnmower without having to weld them on. I want to be able to change them with ease. ![Getting Started on the Murray Murry110](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/82/15/20/murry110.jpg) | |

| Not sure yet, any suggestions I am looking to get as much speed out of it as possible, so I can just blast through the mud. Any suggestions at all will be welcomed because this is my first build. | |

| working in a metal shop has been very helpful not only in planning this project but others that I have worked on, and the trans does seem to be in pretty good shape, going to rip it down and go through it to make sure everything is in proper working order before I take it out on the trail and beat the ever living snot out of it. | |

| Well to my understanding that pulley is attached to an alternator that feeds a voltage regulator and charges the battery while the motor is running. But I could be wrong.

| hahah thanks that makes more sense then what I was told. Thanks Richie
oh I think I figured out how I am going to route the brake, I am going to mount it on the right fender and use a custom parking brake lever that way I can lock the brake when need be. | |

| Well this coming up weekend I will be welding up the front bumper, building luggage rack to mount on the rear, installing gas peddle, figure out where I am going to relocate brake lever, and weld up rims and plates so that I can put my tires on. | |
