Murray 11 hp rider worth keeping?
Original Message Apr 4, 2005 4:53 pm

hello all- my neighbor gave me a Murray rider for free. think the carb is gummed up..but runs good on starter fluid. will be cleaning carb when time permits. my question is this: is this mower even worth keeping around? I know there are a lot of variables that would need to be answered, but I can see it is not a 'quality' built mower..but the price is right. I just think it is going to be a continuious matinence mower. ( hood is already getting some stress cracks on corners). what would you do?? junk-or-keep thanks Gene p.s. about 10-12 years old I think..and the paint is decent Except the mower deck is flaking all over.
