I appreciate you pointing me at that Gravely but unfortunately I already contacted them a week or so ago and the tractor had already been sold. Oh well, just my luck.
Yes, they are very cool little tractors, especially with ALL the attachments they can take. The mower deck really isn’t meant for brush hogging as it is a rotary blade rather than flail blade. It does agreat job on heavy grass though and will send anything (rocks, beer cans, etc) a LONG ways out that front opening. Between the rotary mower, reel mower, sickle bar, cultivator and cart though, it’s perfect.
Corie, I just picked up these 3 Gravelys the other day on a package deal. The story is that all 3 were running last year when parked. The white one has great compression but the other two are weak. I haven’t investigated the reason yet. One may have a bad low gear and one has a broken mower deck.
I plan to keep one if it suits my needs and I’ll sell the other one or two depending on how they run.

Kirk,
That sounds GREAT. Weak compression is no big deal, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done a complete tear-down and rebuild on a gravely motor. Please keep me posted!
A couple of pictures of my Simplicity 2110. It has proven to be a venerable old mule; mows my grass, plows snow, grades the laneway.....
The wood house is stuffed full with 61/2 cord. There is 51/2 cord piled on pallets and, not shown in the pictures, another 3 cord in lengths waiting to get bucked next year. My wood is primarily maple, yellow and paper birch, red and white oak and a little poplar.
Just Picked up the backhoe last week, neighbor friend had an old barn find that included 4 other antique tractors. I’ve had the 8N for a while. I have to fight the wife for seat time on the backhoe it reminds her of her very first job with a gas company.
I would sure get that very expensive midmount mower off of the BX while doing loader work in the mud. I can tell by the front tires that you were sinking in muck and if you smash that mower it will be expensive.
