Are you sure its a good idea to drive over top of the deck with the tractor? I don't recall of those Gravely decks being considered drive-over decks? But maybe I'm wrong. I always pulled mine out from the side.

Thanks for buying American. I always buy 🇺🇸 when possible.

although thankfully you have a 12 hp cuz the 8 hp has gas issued and flowing issues and is the pain in the neck to fix

Lookin good bro

Nice job so far,🔧👍

Looking good 👍🏼

I just got one and the reason I'm here is because I can't get it to work. I am an electrician, got for extra set. Junk Do not buy these Quinn lol

Thanks man. Couldn't figure out the stand. Hahaha

I would try not to paint over the lettering if you can help it🔧👍

I use Sunrise Red on all of my red Gravely tractors. Not factory correct but I am not in a judged contest. Does one of the decal guys in the Gazette Classifieds make a dash decal or know who does? Pro8 is looking good. PaulL

I would try to save the lettering.

You really should have masked off the stencils on the dash. Prep’d and painted it. They make the look esp the Made in America!!

That fold down kickstand are rare. Only seen a hand full of those. Been looking for one to put on my pro16

No part two ?

Gravely tractors were great for their time. I was a huge fan of them years back. But today Im greatful to have a Jonh Deere X series tractor n mower. So simple to work on and heavier duty mowing deck with superior cut minus the power robbing shaft drive that caused the motor to bog down in heavy grass .And powerful Kawasaki motor. They are very expensive tho just like Gravely was back then.

Saylor is the best compressor ..built today. I own one

What model is the first machine ? it looks like a model L.

Nice job. I like the zbend tool 🔧👍

Any idea where I’d get a fuel pump for one of these ?

Where can I get a little fuel pump for one of these

So was it rust free at the end? It looks silvery but I can't tell

if so you can get a Honda motor

you might need a new motor

Is that engine an m8 kohler? If so do you have any videos showing the throttle linkage? I have a chipper with an m8st all of a sudden it wont run at high rpm it slows itself down to about half throttle. Nice little machine youre working on 👍

also your jack is low to the ground on the tractor

do you have a sulky for your walk behind

Looks great DK 🔧👍

watching this before trying to get a broken bolt out of my turbo flang.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As much as I love Gravelys, they sure did a poor job painting and protecting from the late 70's until end of production

Looks sweet! My Cub Cadet 107 has been apart for restoration since 2000! I feel your pain!

Looks like a fun project.

You would think a market would still exist for these tractors and mowers.

Nice show. Thanks for the video 🔧👍

Do you happen to know where the drain plug is for the transmission oil?

I'm glad to be first from one of your videos

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice, good work bro...I didn't think it was gonna come!

Ur lucky. I had to 'heat quench' my idler pivots. I drilled holes in the belt areas. Mine sits outside & always had water sitting in them. If u put the 40 on a L/C watch backing up, it'll dig in. @17:17 U saw the crack. Keep eye on the welds there. I gotta redo my welds. U did get the spindle zerks too I'm sure.

FYI, the head is on backwards. Cool machine!

That is an awesome rig!! I have to see if I can find one in my area!

The descaler didn't seem to remove much. How does it compare to a heavy wire wheel on an angle grinder? Nice deck. Not much rust through. Better than mine. PaulL

Lookin good. Richards sells the springs too…..

Nice to see another video. I'm glad to see you experimenting with fluid film. I would spray it where those belts are and don't worry about that. Fluid film turns gooey. You could use the stralso. Try drilling a hole in metal when you need to and use fluid film as a lubricant. Works great. Call me out if I'm wrong. Try spraying the fluid film around your Magneto. It will help keep the moisture out big time. I don't sell that stuff, but I sure do like it. Don't forget your vehicle with fluid Film, or just do some experimenthat's.❤❤❤❤❤ Can't wait for your next video😊😊😊😊😊😊

Yeah DK Richards always has everything I need. The mower ran nice and smooth. Great job 🔧👍

It's not the dogs fault. You have a compaction problem from too heavy equipment. Ha Ha Ha!

Thanks for the video gotta call Richards and order some belts and wheel.👍🏾

You didn't add metal shims between the bearing and the rubber gasket/seal? On mine if I try that, it seems like the bearing is compressed too much and doesn't want to spin easily.

Looks good!

Nice find! I like the Commercial 40, even though it doesn't cut like a 50". It's a well built mower.
