OK, I need a self propeled walk behind with rearwheel drive for my very hilly 1/2 are around my house in New Hampshire. I found a dealer selling a traded in high end Murray walk behind it has a OHV Kawasaki engine it can mulch, discharge or bag. Has a three speed rear wheel drive system. Stamped steel deck, Mech. says got it on trade it is a mid 90's unit and wants $100. What do you guys think?

That is what I was thinking. But also thinking that now that B&S owns Murry how am I going to get parts forthis unit? I am too a lover of Suzuki, Honda and Kawi. engines in outdoor equipment. Can repair shops get parts for Kawi and Suzuki on engine #'s alone? Anyone ever heard of a Murray all option out like this with Kawi power?
For us anyway it has been no problem getting parts for Murry machines. I haven't had any problems getting kawasaki parts either. You can go to your local JD dealer and get your kawasaki stuff. They have been using those engines for over 2 decades. I can't say I've ever heard of Murry having a Kawasaki/Honda/Suzuki engine. When Murry made the sears w/b mowers they used to use a Honda in some aplications. You usually don't see the them use Kawasaki because it is the most expesive motor out of all of them.
I never knew there was a Murray machine made that had Kawi power. For $100, if it runs good I'd say go for it. Parts for Murray machines are still available from quite a few sources. Briggs took over the assets of Murray corporation through the bankruptcy courts as Murray owed them quite a few millions. Briggs liquidated Murray's assets including repair parts, most of these parts you now see for sale on E-Bay or other internet sources.
