After much tinkering, fabrication, electrical, and engineering, I have finally fixed the lawn mower. If anyone out there has parts or knows where I can get parts for a Murray Grand Prix 12hp 36"deck I need to stock pile. Apparently this is a very rare old model and finding parts are next to imposable. However, all is good now. The lawn is cut and Jake has room to run and play. Here are a couple pics. Also, check out the new one piece work suit.
