Update: Had a the broken axle end (grade 8 bolt that had been poorly welded, then ground down) cut off and a grade 5 bolt welded back in, properly. Lasted about 2 weeks and now the new bolt has broken. I think it had to do with my clutch not staying firmly attached to the output shaft on the...

Have the Murray back up and running. New 72T and 80T sprockets are on order. That should help with the get up a go situation. I also had the broken axle fixed. Looks like the original bolt used for the axle broke sometime and was repaired...poorly. The weld had no penetration (you can see...

Got the Murray up and running today. Drove well although it took forever to get up to speed. Was looking at a sprocket swap and planned to order tonight. Then the drive wheel side of the axle broke. So...after one wheel peeling the yard today...a live axle might be nice, but not sure of...

We drove the cart around some today. Probably an hour total. On the long driveway down the vineyard we were able to get it to 29 mph...downhill. The kids loved it. I was going to detail it out tomorrow....clean it up, touch up paint, clean/paint the wheels, put a few decals on it.... ...and...

Here is the setup....but it may be a moot point. Murray Red The Clutch/Sprocket Setup I am thinking the govenor is engaging as the cart is slow to ramp up RPM's and then doesn't seem to ever get to what should be wide open. As for a moot point....the engine side axle spindle broke. Now I...

I may have reconnected the long spring in the governor arm in a different hole than it originally was. Would that matter in my situation? The holes are numbered/lettered. I think I now have it in hole 6. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the Murray running this evening. It has a 900series B&S mated to a 60T drive sprocket with 12T clutch. 15” rear tires. It takes a couple seconds to start to move...them picks up speed slow but steady....then it ready picks up speed. It’s a one wheel peel, but doesn’t spin till it it...

My new clutch/chain set and new brake band came today. Was able to run a new brake cable and set up the throttle cable to work properly. Clutch slipped on easily and was able to get it and the axle sprocket aligned....but the sprocket is for a size 40 chain. I checked and can't get a 40 chain...

I did run a bolt into the end of the shaft to protect it. My puller wouldnt budge it...cant get much of a grip on the edge of whats left of the clutch. Will be putting some heat to it tomorrow after church. Hopefully that will help get it to move. ---------- Post added at 07:17 PM...

Thanks for the gear puller idea. I have a couple around here from working on my old Volvo 240's.

shaft diameter In looking at the Briggs website, it shows the shaft diameter to be 3/4'. I am gong to go with that and order a new clutch and some 35 chain...and a brake strap. Also need some miscellaneous springs and throttle and brake cables. I thought I'd pick up a few bicycle cables...

Carb gunked up? Plug wire seated? Throttle/choke getting stuck?

Yeah...I thought it looked like a clutch part....but hoped it wasn't! Any thought as to the correct clutch to get for it? It has a 60 tooth sprocket mounted to the hub. Pics of the cart:

Picked up a Murray Red with a Briggs 900 series on it. I need to order a new clutch but don' t want to order the wrong part. Anyone know what the correct size is, without this extra stuff on the shaft? This is currently on the output shaft: Any easy ideas to get this off? There are no...

Picked up a Murray for my oldest daughter to ride (and ride her younger siblings on). Its a small project...looks great by has some simple (I hope) issues to deal with. Needs a new clutch: Need to see about getting this sleeve off: Needs a new brake:
