My honest advice would be to avoid this machine. One major downside to a Murray expolorer is actually a lack of parts. Now if the parts that are on it can be repaired, that's fine but I can't think of a single place that sells parts that are specific to their machines. They haven't been made in a long time. If it has the standard tecumseh on it, plan on that carb needing replaced. They are $85. They are extremely difficult to clean their carbs successfully because the passages are very very small.
The bottom line is that you should be able to find a running machine even for $150. My vote is to pass on it.
