OLD Murray Riding Mower Issue
We bought a used Murray riding mower a few months ago for $150. It was a great price & has worked quite well with minimal issues until now. So far it had only need a belt, a new spark plug & some paint.
Now, one of the deck belts shredded & got flung off the deck and THIS is where my problem lies.
With the first belt, we were able to take it to a parts place & they used the OEM number to cross-reference but now we have NO belt since it was shredded to pieces. To add to our frustration, everybody at every lawn mower place we've been to has told us that the mower should run on 1 long belt but it doesn't. It runs on TWO belts, a long one & a short one.
And to FURTHER add to our frustration, our model can not be found ANYWHERE! So I found this forum and am HOPING someone will know something about this mower.
It's a Murray 11hp 36" cut riding mower. The model number is 8-3667 and the date code is 7266.
The codes on the engine are 252707 0133-01 77080211, which based on what I found on the B&S website means the motor is a 77, which I guess means there's a possibility the mower is a 77, assuming it's the original motor.
I really hope someone can help since we just don't know what else to do.
Thanks a bunch,
