These machines were unbelievable

What wire wheel is that. Did you have to use washers to mount it.

Takes a rugged individual as well as a rugged piece of machinery to survive winters in your state, God Bless.

Happy nu yr 2 u 2. Your 40 deck isn't open on the rite side? My homeowners & commercial r. Someone mite have put in a mulching plate. I've got OLD blades on mine, if grass isnt dry it doesn't cut nice. If wet forget abt it. I might look for some hi lift or mulching blades to try.

Happy New Year DK 🎉

Man that's great it runs! & runs good w/ no smoke! I'd use the lil 8hp rider. The blower housing looks similar to a Yard-man vac shredder I've got. U mite find a similar non runner & b able to add the metal bars that break down the leaves, chipper blade, & small branch chute.

Happy Holidays Dennis!

Did u also get the hoses, fan assembly? im always looking for used hoses cause new they're way expensive.

WHAT YEAR IS THE GRAVELY

I looked for the newest video you have on the 18G. I have a question on my 20G, which is a 1989 model. I am trying to solve a backfiring issue, when I throttle down. I try to throttle down, PTO disengaged, and it regularly backfires through the carb, at that time. I don't know if it's set too lean on the low speed idle jet, and then backfires at the transition point of the high/low jets, or, there's fuel starvation due to a weak fuel pump. Also, I believe there's a lack of power when the 60" mower deck is engaged, which may also indicate a weak fuel pump, and/or governor is set at too low at full throttle. Any ideas?

What year is your Professional 16

Great idea. It worked well 🔧👍

Every hardware store has always sold hollow wall anchors. I never thought of this use for them.

That's a handy way to put captive threads through sheet metal. I've used the rivnuts, but those look like thy would be less likely to spin-out, over time, with more grip.

DUDE... THE NEW HUSQVARNA, SCRUB CADET, CRAPSMAN, ALL OF THE NEWER MOWERS made by MTD IN THE LAST 20 YEARS ARE WAYYYYYYY WORSE THAN THAT MURRAY

Looks like a great show, thanks for taking us along!

Too dark

Ok you’re one of those guys who has to have the last word so I’ll be the grown up and say have it your way

Not everyone’s will knobs will adjust the same so you should actually go by the flame and you should always have a little oxygen on so gas doesn’t get sucked back up the line with fire especially when turning it off,gas first then oxygen but people should look up to see what flame is needed for what use then they know and don’t go by adjustments that will vary for each unit.

If a new device has knobs and controls, turn em’ to see what they do! Round dial with a + and - symbols are for more resistance to force teeth to grip wire tighter. Blue plastic stop actually moves left and right to provide a stop for multiple same length of wire cuts.

It makes no difference! Each magnet has it's own _ and +

thanks. im going to try filling with a vacuum on the bellows plate hole

Nice video ! It was an awesome time hanging out . Can’t wait for the next show !

The important thing your videos have that Ralph doesn't do is the soundbite of the model L starting. I look forward to hearing that. THANK YOU. A Gravely engine is music.

At :52 is that a store bought or home made air tank?

What weight oil do you use? 5w30, 10w30, or sae 30?

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video. I'm working on disassembling gear reduction wheels for my Gravely. Just wondering how to undo the center spindle bolt. Did you have to take off the metal puck on the wheel side of the hub (the one with 4 bolts) to be able to undo the center bolt and separate the two halves... Just on the off chance you are looking 5 years later :)

That is not called a THRUST bearing. Its called a conical roller bearing my friend. It also appears your not to familiar with working on Gravely mower decks either. Know what your doing before you start. There are parts diagrams for these mower decks online if you take the time to look.

I will be at Zagray in October. Saturday only, but I am going.

Oh man that thing is cool! fromt a time when people actually heeded manufacturers warnings. Or really got their hands messed up.

I feel like these would be great in a plumbing tool bag. 4 wrenches that can do the work of 16. Plus, toilet installs would be easier with those long flange bolts.

Nice find!! Pretty rare attachment. I have one. Its great for pulverizing soil. The front tire set up has been modified. How much did you spend? PM me the price.

Always thought about getting one, But would have to be the one with the chipper built in

Very cool, nice score DK 🔧👍

Only not safe if you're dumb enough to stick a body part in. Nice find. I still thinking of what to do with my one remaining 12 horse. Great video.

Nice score Dennis!

Hmm, I agree the intake is on the right

I have a virtually perfect 1982 5682 Best machine made for mowing / blowing 6:52 7:00

Good to see you yesterday. That Ford 6000 really is awesome !

Where is the oil filter located? I have a Pro 8 (1997 model) and can’t find one on it?

I just got mines today thank you for the help I love mines

They added the air deflectors in ‘54 or ‘55 as I recall. But the aluminum carb was later than that.

I looked into it. The metal knob on the left is there to adjust the amount of tension that the cutter jaw on the right comes down with. The blue thingy underneath is just a depth stop adjustment if you want to pre-set a particular cut/strip depth and be able to repeatedly replicate it quickly. I think most people don't understand the adjustments, and just assume it's junk, when it doesn't strip at all, or only some of the time, out of the box. You know you have them adjusted correctly when you can do a quick cut/strip without going slow like in the video. These should also be able to open up access to a wire mid run, not at the tip. So you can splice into or from that wire. Though I haven't tested this out personally yet, especially with thicker jackets. These are essentially a copy of the Klein Self Adjusting Wire Strippers. If you're interested, they have a video on how to use them properly.

No one seems to address the two adjustments on the pliers and just claim they're junk out of the box. Are they? Or are people just not using (adjusting) them correctly? Also, just FYI, HF does sell a set made by Doyle for a few bucks more, that is similar to the other set shown in this video.

Thanks

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
