Murray 31201x51C Parts Manual

To start the Murray 31201x51C tractor, ensure the gear shift is in the neutral position, the parking brake is engaged, and the throttle is set to the choke position. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it clockwise until the engine starts. Once the engine is running, adjust the throttle to the desired level.
If the tractor won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and verify that the spark plug is not fouled. Additionally, make sure the safety switches are engaged, and consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
The oil in the Murray 31201x51C tractor should be changed every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil type and capacity.
The recommended tire pressure for the Murray 31201x51C tractor is typically 10 PSI for the front tires and 14 PSI for the rear tires. Always check the tire sidewall or the user manual for exact specifications.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Remove the mower deck and locate the belt. Release the tension on the belt by adjusting the tensioner, then remove the old belt and replace it with a new one. Reassemble all parts and test the tractor.
If the blades are not cutting evenly, check for any damage or dullness on the blades, and replace or sharpen them as needed. Ensure that the deck is level and that the blade spindle is not bent. Consult the user manual for proper leveling procedures.
To clean the air filter, first remove the air filter cover. Take out the foam pre-cleaner and paper filter. Wash the foam pre-cleaner in warm, soapy water, then rinse and allow it to dry completely. Tap the paper filter gently to remove debris. Reassemble the air filter components and secure the cover.
For winter storage, clean the tractor thoroughly and remove any grass or debris. Change the oil, lubricate all moving parts, and disconnect the battery. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and run the engine for a few minutes. Store the tractor in a dry, covered area.
If the tractor vibrates, check for loose or unbalanced blades, as well as loose bolts and connections. Inspect the drive belt for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
The Murray 31201x51C tractor typically requires a 12-volt, lead-acid battery. Check the owner's manual for specific model recommendations and ensure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected.
