- A typical ATV is very costly with a price tag starting in the $4K range for a cheap one. I'm not rich and I don't need to do all that can be done with a store bought ATV so I've begun the process of DIY converting a recently revived "free" Murray lawn tractor into a UTV (utility vehicle) for the chores I've got to do on the ranch.
See the Murray F.O.R.D (found on road dead) rescue here:

Phase One was comprised of getting the motor running well, putting on new ATV style back tires, spraying on a new coat of paint and building the back rack.
Phase Two & Three hopefully will include rebuilding the transmission, locking the differential axle and doing a pulley swap for a little more speed, Also mounting a bigger battery, adding more headlights and a front rack and bumper with a 2500# winch and lastly a roll bar / canopy for safety & shade in the hot summer.
I was thinking the same thing sir, take out them lights on the front and add some LEDs in their place. That is cool. Nice job. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Cool idea
Love it. I built a rack for my hood out of 1/2" emt conduit. I'm going to build a back rack next.
That old Murry is the best built lawn tractor of the seven tractors I have had.
@@FishTales-Reel-Life-Adventure I bought the cheapest mower Lowe's had. It's a Bolens made by MTD. It's 12 years old and I've only had to replace a spindle, starter, belts and carburetor. My father-in-law bought a John Deer about 4 years ago and has had nothing but problems with it.
If you hunt, and don’t want a lot of noise, try a golf cart muffler.
Good suggestion! I'm going to try that asap!
Amazing Junk Genius!!
thanks!
Have yo done anything further with this conversion?
Not much but the Murry is still the toughest lawnmower of the herd... Built like a tank!
