    Murray 17hp 42 widebody questions...
    The decal under the seat is worn off... where can I look to get the model number? The Murray is a 17hp 42in cut widebody and is probably 5-8 years old... I need to replace the drive belt... I have very little clutch left and you cannot start in any gear higher than 4th (out of 6)... I need the model number to get the correct belt... Thanks in advance!
    God bless!

    You may need to go to an established mower shop that has had someone around for quite a while and they may be able to look at the unit and get you the correct belt.

    Do I have to drop the deck? And the steering shaft is in the center of both sides of the belt... how do I get the belt off so I can match a new one up to it? Thanks again!
