IMy mower is mowing uneven and I changed the blades and it didn't help. A friend said it may be that the deck is missing a pin or is lose. I can't find the manual for it and Murray doesn't support it anymore. It's a 2000 Model 40508x92. Does anyone have a manual on the deck or a manual on the mower they can scan to me?
Thanks
Did you know this mower was recalled back in 2003? Here's the info. You may want to contact the number to see if they can assist with the deck problem, too.

Yes I knew about the recall. Do you know anything about getting a manual for this mower? It was purchased back in 2000.

An idea -- Can't help with the original manual. Would seeing a diagram of the mower help? Sears sold Murray products, and their Repair Service Centers have microfilm and computers with schematics. Go to Sears.com. Top of the page is Customer Service. Then Product Repair Services. Then Locate a Repair Service Center. You can call them with your Murray Serial Number and they can tell you if they can help. Like I said, it was just a thought.
I have the manual... let me know where to send scan.
If you still have the scan of the manual and could send it to [email protected], I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

It's not a manual, but it is an exploded parts list diagram, so it shows how everything goes together and what might be missing. For uneven cutting, you probably just need to adjust the deck. There's a deck leveling notch on the deck height adjustment, pull back the tab covering it where the lever catches the notches, place it to that lowest setting, unscrew the two large wingnuts on either side of the deck, pushe the deck down so it touches evenly all the way around. Now tighten the two black wingnuts, raise the deck, and it should be level.
I hope your still around... Can I get a copy to [email protected]...
Has anyone had any luck obtaining manual for this mower (40508x92)? I would love a copy
I am looking for manual for this model as well, has anyone had any luck obtaining one? I do not care if it is just a scanned copy, I just would like to have one.

Hi,
The parts manual is here:

I went through that problem too. Most people say lower it all the way to the ground and adjust but this is how I did it.
Step:
1. Put the mower on a flat, even surface such as a level driveway or in your garage.
1. Lower the deck to the height you normally cut at.
2. Take a ruler, yardstick, t-square, not a tape (it bends) and measure the distance from the bottom of the front edge of the deck on the left side to the ground and write it down.
3. Do the same for the right side of the deck. Make sure you are measuring the same thing, IE. If you are measuring the bottom of the curled up lip on one side measure the bottom of the curled up lip on the other side. Also, the further apart your measurements are the better.
4. You can adjust either the high side or the low side. This is for the low side.
5. On the side that is low, look under the lawn mower between the deck and the bottom of mower at the rear of the deck. There will be a lever the attaches the deck to the lift mechanism. Where it attaches to the deck there will be a very large plastic wing nut looking nut that pinches this lever against another lever that attaches the deck to the mower body. This lever has a slot in the top of it where it attaches to the mower.
6. Now go around the mower and take a good look at the other side (high side) paying particular attention to the levers and their positions. Make sure the vertical bar with the slot in it is all the way down. IE. The slot's top is on the pin that attaches it to the mowers frame.
7. Go back around the mower and loosen the large wing nut and with you hands move the lever and vertical bar around until it looks like the other side. You may want to put shims under the deck to hold it in position.
8. tighten the nut and remove the shims.
9. Now, measure the decks from edges again. You should be close to an identical reading.
10. If not repeat the process making minor vertical adjustments (up or down) with shims until the deck measurements are within about 1/16".
11. When they are your done.
Hi,
Depends on the deck, but always block the deck with one or two 2x4s to get an even spacing. Long explanation for what is so easy. Done half a dozen with other preps too in an hour.
Peace,
Clarke
Can you also send me a copy of the owner's manual? [email protected]
Hi bondebond,
The links are already in the answers. Parts manual in post #29 and owners manual in post #22.
Peace,
Clarke
Both of those are the parts manuals. I am still in search of the owners manual. I was hoping someone still had their hands on that one.
Hi,
Apologies, so they are and I posted both links. That manual is the subect of a number of requests at the Lawn and Garden part of ManualOnline as a matter of fact. I know it is not avaialable at Murray, I could tell you why. I do not know if there was a Home Depot version, but some of them keep manuals around. The mosel number breaks down like this. 40 is the deck size, 40". 508 describes the machine; sheet metal, engine, transmission, etc. The "x" is a separator. 92 is the vendor number; in this case it is Walmart. The same thing at Home Depot is an X8A.
Peace,
Clarke
