To swap an engine on a Murry riding mower, it is important to make sure that the new engine is the right match for the mower, by checking the model number. You also need to make sure that the bolt holes line up, so that it will fit safely. Remove the old engine, and then replace the new engine, tightening all the screws and bolts in the reverse order that you followed to remove the old engine.

To replace the deck mower belt on a 38-inch Murray mower, first, ensure the mower is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Remove the deck by unscrewing or unhooking it from the mower frame, then locate the old belt and take note of its routing. Remove the old belt from the pulleys, and install the new belt by threading it through the same path, ensuring it is properly seated on all pulleys. Finally, reattach the deck and check the belt tension before using the mower.
