wp205a 43 #1 Posted January 22, 2013 Here's another one I can get for free. The PTO is shot, the tractor has 0 eye appeal. The owners' uncle is a Gravely dealer and says the PTO repair is cost prohibitive. Comments? My gut feeling is pass. It does have a big Kohler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #2 Posted January 22, 2013 The big Kohler is worthless in it's entirety unless you want it for another Gravely. To use it on a Wheel Horse you'd have to install a different crankshaft. I hear him loud & clear on the PTO fix...... that's a major job. I would get it just for the common parts.

posifour11 723 #3 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm a weirdo. I'd be all over free. It doesn't have to stay in it's present form. I'd think of something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustyoldjunk 127 #4 Posted January 22, 2013 I would have had it home before he changed his mind.Gravely's are built very very heavy duty.Imagine the traction it has with the engine in the rear.Great for a sleeve hitch and garden work or what heavy loads do you want to drag around?

VinsRJ 721 #6 Posted January 22, 2013 Collect it for free and then post it on CL for $150... settle for a $100 and buy something else for $100/free. :happy-jumpeveryone: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tractornut86 616 #8 Posted January 23, 2013 Actually the Kohler motor will fit on a Wheel Horse. The 800 series tractors had a straight crank on them. The tractor is still in good enough condition that would be well worth putting a PTO in. Personally I would rather use a Gravely then a Wheel Horse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wp205a 43 #9 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) The Gravely survived a tornado, I guess I should save it from the scrap yard. Will need advice on what's wrong with the PTO, I don't need another non mower. Edited January 23, 2013 by wp205a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mistake - I was thinking of the ones with the stubby crank machined for the drive gear. :banghead: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
