Murray is the name brand that is marketed for Home Depot. It's a reliable
mower, but I would at least price out what they're going for new before you
agree to that price. If the center bearing has seized, look the entire mower
over carefully for other signs of owner neglect.

Actually many more dealers sell Murray including Wal-Mart and many mower
shops. Their dealer network is listed at:

They also make Stanly Lawn Tractors. Their website is at:

Murray Lawn Tractor Recall

WASHINGTON, March 6, 2003 -- Murray Inc. is voluntarily recalling about
270,000 riding lawn tractors. The fuel tank can crack and leak fuel,
posing a burn and fire hazard to consumers.

Murray has received 101 reports of fuel tanks leaking. No injuries have
been reported.

The recalled lawn tractors were sold under the MURRAY® and STANLEY®
brand names and have 38-, 40-, 42-, 46-, and 52-inch cutting decks. The
brand name is printed on the front or side of the lawn tractor and the
model number can be found on a nameplate under the seat. The following
models are included in this recall:

405014X92, 405015X92, 40508X92, 425007X92, 42515X92, 42516X92,
425302X92, 425303X92, 425614X92, 42576X92, 465305X92, 465603X92,
46581X92, 425605X692, 465606X692, 525607X692, 405002X8, 425003X8,
425008X8, 425009X8, 42544X8, 38560X181, 42583X6, 465616X6, 40541,

465619X71, 465620X71

Retail and hardware stores, including Wal-Mart and Home Depot, sold the
lawn tractors nationwide from November 2000 through January 2003 for
between $800 and $1,500.

Consumers should stop using these lawn tractors immediately and contact
the nearest Murray Service Dealer for a free replacement fuel tank. For
more information, consumers should contact Murray at (800) 876-1634
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the
company's web site at www.murray.com .
