Interesting Gravelys at the 2012 Gravely mow-in 

Nice to see some Gravely red on display. My family has some history with them, for sure. Grandpa had a walk behind that was significantly larger than those on display that he used to mow the grass. When I grew up and left home (and stopped mowing dad's yard for him) he went out and rescued a big Gravely mowing machine from being traded in to a dealership. It had a 4 cylinder engine in it, and could mow 10 feet at a pass. Guess he didn't want to spend all day mowing like I used to have to.

these old tractors certainly do represent an era of american ingenuity and prosperity, Its' unfortunate that those days are long gone.

i know what you mean. i grew up mowing every square inch of 5 acres, with just one gravely model 8102 rider w/ a 40" deck. That was a solid 8 hour day to mow all that!

Yeah it is awesome. Cool video TFS. My dad had 3 model L's on his farm, great machine.

great old machines. They don't build stuff like this anymore.

Thanks for the great video!

Sweet! I had only ever seen some of this stuff in pictures.

yeah, there was some real neat stuff at the mow-in for sure!

Awesome video thanks

Wish I could find a modern scoop I could buy for a Gravely. I can get 60s era Gravelys in my area, but it seems like in order to get a scoop that dumps, I'd either have to find an old one (and nobody wants to part with theirs) or fabricate one, and I'm not a welder. I just want a solution for moving 30 yards of dirt around my yard to re-grade it where I don't have to rent Skidsteers over and over (I have lots of future projects) or buy $6,000 worth of old used subcompact tractor with a scoop so a Gravely looked like a good option if I can find a scoop.

A four cyl gravely??? significantly bigger??? sounds like a farmall to me, but even a 10' pass is too big for that. I think cougarhunter33 was smoking dads grass not mowing it, but for sure not a gravely. Now to be more posative, the mow in looks awesome!!Hopefully Dad and I can come some year. Im trying to collect a L from every year up to the kohler powered units, almost 1/2 way there. Ever seen a wartime 1943 unit with a cast iron crank case, its my favorite to show. Thanks for the video.

Nice implements.

American Know How!!! Amazing.

sure, i've encountered tractors from the 40's, can't say i've ever been into the engine on one though. My oldest tractor is a 54' ls. I'm sure 5Tractorguy and/or stevenpturcheck have some 40's model tractors, you should check out their channels.

It's hard to say, the condition is pretty important. weather or not it runs is super important. your attachments are 3 of the most common. it also depends on the model. does it have dual wheels, good tires or chains? truth is i'd have to see the set, hear it run. you could always watch ebay and craislist, and compare listings to the condition of your equipment to get an idea that way.

Was at a friend's mother's house today, and in the garage is a gravely,red n white under 20 years of stuff,story goes it was bought new in 68 with blade,cultavater and 40 inch mower deck. only used 1 summer then the owner got cancer. what's a fare price for it?

Where was this at?

I didn't know.

Nice!!!

minute 7:16 - where can I find those type of seats (part #)? Thank you... great vid!

Iv got a gravely super 1955 can anyone tell me about it Its running and has the mower on it

I’ve rescued 7 gravelys :)

all original, good tires, runs good, missing hood, needs battery, comes with brush hog.... $250....is that too much?.....
