Murray Part 1731184SM Meter-Hour Digital W/

What It Is

The Murray Part 1731184SM is a digital hour meter that tracks engine run time, helping you schedule maintenance (oil changes, blade sharpening, etc.) for ride-on mowers and tractors. It replaces the original hour meter on compatible Murray models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact OEM replacement for Murray part number 1731184SM – not a universal fit.
• Fits select Murray riding mowers and lawn tractors with a 2-pin connector and 12V DC power system.
• Check your model number (on the mower’s chassis tag) against Murray’s compatibility list or cross-reference with your old meter’s part number.
• Dimensions: roughly 2.25” wide x 1.5” tall x 1” deep – verify your dash cutout size before ordering.
• Not compatible with push mowers, zero-turn mowers, or non-Murray brands without wiring modification.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – unplug old meter, plug in new one, and secure in dash. No special tools needed.
• Wiring: Confirms 2-pin connector matches your harness. If your old meter has 3 pins or a different plug, you’ll need an adapter or splice wires.
• Quality: OEM part, so fit and finish are identical to original. 4.5-star rating but only 2 reviews – limited feedback.
• Common gotcha: The meter may not work if your mower’s battery is dead or wiring is corroded. Test with a multimeter before replacing.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct, no-mod OEM replacement for a failed hour meter on your Murray riding mower and want to keep maintenance intervals accurate. Skip it if you have a different brand, need a universal meter, or can’t confirm your model number matches.
