mudding fun

im getting ready to take apart my murray widebody down to the frame for a later project if you need any body parts? and i understand the 20 times thing. i finally got my tranny working right for like the 20th time after blowing my input bearings....

Ya I don't need any body parts thanks though I still have trail boss the mower that burned Down is a wide body I even have your style hood

do you know what year mine is by chance? lol. matching hoods

you should post some pictures of the mowers uve had and the broken ones

Mine was a 2002 or 2004 not exactly sure I can't read any stickers cause they're burned off lol and here's a pic of trail boss currently maybe tomorrow ill make a thread of my previous mowers I've had some sweet ones

that will be cool. this is still my first one :p hydro. nice. howd it burn down? and i looked up my model and i think its an 05"

i ran a hydro for a while without issues. they are tough

I had just put all of my best parts on it my kohler 17
Hp, 28 in mudzillas, 20 in turfs up front and it was my first test run I was bushwacking I got stuck on a fallen log and the fuel line got snagged and went on to the exhaust and from there it got real bad with a full tank of gas, it was my best mower to  

damn.... wow. glad you got away safe. you gunna try rebuilding it?

Maybe down the road ive been contemplating it i got so many mowers I need a motor and I hope the axle is still good

if its not you could take my hydro? i dont plan on building anything else for a while

Alright cool right now I'm saving for a Honda rincon atv and also right now I'm gonna probably take my yamaha g1 golf cart apart and take the axles out of it and put them in a mower and make a monster mower need to find a side drive motor thats powerful the motor in the cart isn't getting spark for some very odd reason

magneto? maybe the magnets are rusted up for the magneto

Ya I believe it is either a fried magneto or a fried cdi I've had in auto shop at school I took the magneto out and cleaned it the parts washer still nothing

damn. could be the inside of the magneto is bad. i know ive blown one before. it looked fine but just randomly smoked and stopped working

Ya well I'm thinking its the cdi because I had it running for about 3 days after I got it and the wires to the magneto fried so I replaced them and still no spark so the wires may of shorted and fried the magneto

yea. sounds like it. damn. that sucks

Yep it's like 100$   I'm gonna look for a different motor

i hope you find one. i need a vertical shaft motor eventually whenever i build my other project

I got a couple that need rebuilt

what sizes? im prefering to find an oppy so i can do my mini swamp buggy build

I got briggs 18.5 ohv, 14.5 OHV, 12.5 flathead the oppy is mine sorry lol

its all good. whats wrong with the 18?

The 18.5 was the original from trail boss right now it is locked not shure if it needs to be bored or not I may look into it tommorow or sometime

ok. im not looking at spending a whole lot on rebuilds, kinda got a tight budget.... car and insurance...

Same here very tight budget lol
