Why is that one a bit shorter than the others?

The 95' Murray was used as a shooting target and then it got ran over by a bulldozer.

Thanks- its a collection from quite a few years- a few of em i brot down to Florida with me . The GT6000 is actually DOA due to a dead motor- its under a tarp behind my shed - i used it for parts to get my 86 GT II mowing.

if you have good enough pictures of what the decals look like, find your nearest signmaker/graphic artists and they could probably print them up.

I need to get some decals made as well for a couple of the ones i want to repaint/restore - make sure you get good clear pictures and sizes of them . Some decals can be 'multi layered' - in this case youll want a single layer decal to look authentic. Make sure the place can make them that way.

Nice Murray. Should be between a 1979 and 1983. If the Briggs is original the code will give you a year produced. I'm assuming the original data plate is missing or painted over? Should be below the seat by the shifter.

That is a 1979 Model # 4166. The link will take you to a downloadable parts schematics.
1979 4166 Parts
This machine is a testament to the under rated quality of Murray Ohio power equipment.
The 9060 means the tractor was built on the 60th day of 1979.
