Wonderful doc
I’m very surprised with the prices: can one explain what means these two or three numbers?

If I understand well this is an inside gearbox (147 in the book)which wears two bearing and the one in the bottom is hard to take off: you must have a special tool to do that, ask a mecanic or a garage worker
Or you talk about the big wheel bearing.
I join a pic, so you can put a sign to show where is the difficulty

If you read the original instruction book that went with the Auto Culto “Autogardener” and the “Junior” you will find they did not have an adjustable throttle control, there is no mention of such a control in the instructions and none in the spare parts list, both mdels used the Villiers Mk15 engine with the overhead valves, the only control cable on my machines is the clutch cable, but someone will have more detail than me.

Thanks guys,
For the input very helpful, the old girl came with Bosch W7BC short reach.

I forgot to mention the writing surrounding the pulley is monro tiller very faint that’s the only way I knew what the machine was in the first place.

By the way, if you meet someone able to talk about a fantomatic factory in Buckfastleigh, named Gravely overseas, which produced pedestrian singlewhheled tractors between 1940 and 1960, let me know!!
I’ll be very pleased

Thank you

Hello Peter

A photo will help me to exactly understand what you need. To take off the gearbox (the one which have the “pat dec 1916?) seems easy: after scewing off the littles bolts as you say, with a wooden piece you can put apart the box taking care of the big gasket. May be you gear box is “glued” with years.
Don’t forget the two bigger bolts.
If you go to the forum “Gravely Tractor Club of America” you’ll find service manuals for english model D. Also you can ask to the “MERL” in Reading University for the same 1950 owner’s manuals and part lists.
If you need more ask me and excuse my limited english
