I had the pleasure of using one of those Gravely tractors back in my teens. The one I used was equipped with the mower deck, snow blade and snow blower attachments. It had lots of power and was a beast but was very temperamental about cold starts. It was like an old Harley Davidson cold start, if you didn't follow the proper start procedure, it wouldn't start.

Before I went into Aviation maintenance, I worked in a golf course maintenance shop and my favorite small engines in the late 80's/early 90's were always the "Cast Iron" Kohler K series. Especially the 321 singles and the 482 twins. The only real weakness was if you broke the oil "Dipper" off the end of the connecting rod on the singles (Which, unfortunately, did happen) the engine would seize almost immediately. We had a couple old (retired) Gravely riding tractors too. Strange transmission. Low & Hi range, plus Low & Hi gear. Listening to this old engine both crank and later, run brought back SO many fond memories.

Dad had a 1959 L, typically used the rotary plow attachment. You could furrow with it, plant your taters and cover them back over with that rotary plow. You could plow when the soil moisture was just right and not even have to rake anything level. Started with a canvas strap you wound around the flywheel. Used the same oil filter as our 66 Ford F 250. PH-8A.

I remember those. I will never forget the Gravely I was using. I was working on a horse farm years ago and I was cutting grass around the pond. On trying to get as close the edge of the water line as I could, the mower slid down towards the water after hitting a rut. I could`nt disengage the drive quick enough, so the whole gravely went into the deep.

Another amazing job Taryl! Backstory on this one is I purchased it in Aug.2020 for $200. It had only been used as a snowblower and was actually advertised that way on FBMP, 'old nonrunning snowblower'. The owner had died and someone purchased the property and some stuff was left in the barn and this was one of the items. The snowblower is known as a 'snowcannon' and it was in perfect condition. The tires were nice and had chains on them that were barely worn. It was covered with a tarp, but the handle bars were not covered and chickens had sat on the bars and crapped on them, which is why the chrome is so bad on top of the bars. It has a 'quick hitch' for the snowcannon. The gas tank was filled with a dark black liquid and smelled BAD. Drained it and it was pretty rusty, so cleaned it and coated the inside with two coats of 'Redkote', then put on a new fuel petcock, new fuel lines, cleaned the carb as best I could and tried to start it but only got weak spark so cleaned the points and that's where I was stumped. BTW I'd also repainted the cowling, which I did in white (originally red) because I thought it would look cooler since the hood is white. I also added in my 'anti-fluffy' port to make it easy to clean out mouse mess. There had been a LARGE mouse nest in it. Well, it has sat in my garage like that for the last two years and I finally was able to take it to Taryls place since I got a better trailer this summer. Taryl worked his magic on it and it's running like a top now. Shortly after purchasing this 546, I saw an old Model L Gravely on the FBMP for $200 non running and in very bad condition, but it had the snowblade, 30" bush hog, dual wheel hubs and a sulky, so purchased it just for those items, all of which fit perfectly on this 546. I'm so happy to have the 546 running. Thanks again Taryl : ) Oh, one more thing. Taryl dealing with the points brought up an old memory. Back in 1978 I purchased a 1972 Honda CL 350, or was it a 360? Hm, can't remember but it was a CL, red and white four stroke twin. Very nice condition. Sometimes it got no spark and I learned to open the points cover on the side of the engine and I'd use a matchbook striker to clean the points then it would run fine again for awhile, a few days, weeks etc.

What most people don't realize is point gap is an average of best setting for high speed and the best setting for low speed. If you widened the gap it will run smoother at idle but backfire at high speed. Narrowing the gap has an opposite effect. The point is point gap is not etched in stone. Years ago when you tuned a car engine with points and a carburetor it is exactly what Taryl did. An adjustment here and tweak there. Timing an old car specs were given at base idle. The real correct timing was full advance at about 2800 rpm. Truely tuning an engine is becoming a lost art.

If you don't have a spark tester, you can verify points by using the test light on the neg. side of the coil looking for a flashing light during cranking. I learned the arc-ing points hand signal. Last really good jobsite sign i learned was from a lady construction apprentice. She noticed the guys used hand signals. "Wheres my hammer?" And "take a break". Or, "bring the phone here". So she saw her partner waving and asking "wheres my screwdriver?" It was loud with equipment running that moment, so She answered, Eye. Leftit. In the box.

I have worked on a few K series Kohlers like this, and one problem that happens on engines that have a lot of hours, or don't get maintained properly is that the push rod for the points wears a groove into the camshaft lobe that operates the points. The best solution is a new or known good camshaft, or thread the pushrod and affix a nut to the end that contacts the camshaft to bridge the groove. In both cases the engine has to come apart. The symptoms are that the timing changes as the engine warms up, and the range of adjustment for the points tightens up.

Better to weld up the groove and grind it back down flush, or perhaps change the oil more often than every 4000 hours.

I am not really sure how a long a new K-series engine will go, if maintained properly, I became used to dealing with worn out junk, but the last Cub I brought was used by it's original owner for 40 years with no real engine work needed he said. The engine died after the top piston ring seized, Looking at the condition of the rest of the machine, the probable chain of events was started by some failed spindles on the mower deck, I could hardly turn them. This lead to the engine overheating. It had seen a lot of use, I had to weld new metal to support the clutch assembly where it had cracked out, but the transmission was sound. I was able to salvage the block, cam and crankshaft, and except for where there was a deep scratch in the cylinder wall, the bore was close to being in spec. I had it bored out .020 over and put a Stens rebuild kit in it. The tractor doesn't get too much use, I plowed the garden a few times and run it around a local tractor show a few times a year. @@davidpotter9462

I used 16 thousandths. growing up on the farm in the 50s points were always a thing to mess with.

Hi, Taryl! I love your work and your videos. Keep up the great work! Nearly 50 years ago, when I started working on cars and they all had points in the ignition systems, I figured out a system for easily gapping points accurately nearly every time. If a gap needed to be .020, I would snug the contacts against a .021 or .022 feeler gauge then tighten them down. This saved me the trouble of the points walking when I would tighten the hold-down screw. The gap usually ended up right where I needed it without a lot of readjustment. This also works for other things that need to be gapped. I worked on automated mechanical equipment for nearly 20 years and that trick worked for most gapping jobs.

Yea. Still have it. My dad bought it many many years ago while i was stil a child. He wouldnt let us kids use it tho bc he said we would likely get flung off of it (with the pull behind chair it comes with, thats pretty common and easy to have happen) and the gravely would chop us up and keep going was his words. Thay machine always started super easy tho. It could sit for years and would start on the first pull. This is coming from the man who put blocks of 2x4s on the clutch and brake pedal of the tractor so we could reach them so we could cut the grass, but 1st gear only! So, yeah, gravely must be pretty dangerous.

Each year I had the the responsibility of teaching the “new kids” how to maintain and operate a Gravely walk behind very similar to this one. We towed it from park area to park area with a 1932 Worthington tractor that had been retro fitted with a Ford rear end (dang thing was geared to go about 50mph but up around 30mph the front end would start bouncing so hard you couldn’t keep it on the road). I flipped the Gravely off the trailer one day taking a corner too fast and that ole unit barley had a scratch on it. When I explained to my former marine drill sergeant boss what happened all he was worried about was the Worthington…….ah those were good times. We called the Worthington unit 007. It was during that period of my life that I knew I was going to be a grass rat! Keep tinkering boys! Love the channel! Hope to meet you guys at mid-Ohio next summer.

About 30 years ago I had one a feller give me. It was pretty old, older than the one you have there. It' had a Studebaker tag and had big round mower on front. Back in 1970s my dad worked at a school and they had one with a shovel and tractor- like tires set up for pushing snow.

This makes me want to pull my 1952 L out of storage and get it running. My dad used it in the 60's/70's at his work to move snow. They gave it to him in the 90's and hasn't ran since.

I have two model L and both needed the magneto points cleaned. Both start with a couple strap pulls. Now, lol. One has a sickle mower, other one has the rotary plow which is like nothing I've ever seen. There's videos on you tube.

@chrishayden7016 mine has a dozer blade and 30" brush cutter. We tried to start it in the late 90's, weak spark and carb was gummed up so pushed it back in the barn. It would take me days to get it uncovered and out with all the junk piled around it LOL.

I understand. All four tires were flat and only two took air; replaced the others with what amounts to trailer tires. It’s so heavy, it didn’t need tread for my usage. A snowplow would, though.

I used one of these when I was about 12 or 13 back in the late 80's probably around 87 or so I had to use a neighbors to mow my other neighbors lawn when his tractor was broke down and for a 12 or 13 year old kid it was a learning curve but once I got it down it was easy to drive .

There was a fella just this week on Craigslist that has lots of accessories and parts for Gravely, In Missouri... I live in St.Louis, and he is somewhere in Missouri.

I reaally felt nostalgic when I watched the fiddling with the points. I had a Harley sportster as a daily driver when I was in college almost 40 years ago. It was always a very holesome feeling when I got the dwell angle and timing juuuuuuust perfectly right and it started first kick on a cold and rainy morning. It was a kind of zen meditation sitting there for half an hour trying to get the points gap for both lobes to be exactly the same. But it is very rewarding.

I learned Taryl I did.....The Gravley mowers were a common sight here in Florida 70'-80's with commercial mowers - stand behind setups. Their a commercial machine. Got a big old Kohler that needs everything you went over and then some. I will use your "sign language"
