Thanks for that john, now that I have got it off the bench and the wheels on I have got more room to move and roll it about, so roll on the weekend.

I had a similar thing happen in the last week. Didn’t think anything about it at the time. How does one know when the 30days are up? I don’t remember the date I came on here.

Hello Alan Rogers
I read the post you’ve put in your answer and I’m very interested in your knowledge about Gravely Overseas in Devon. Another man ansewering in the post is “Rollo Man”: how can I join him as he said that he has got some books and brochures about model D? Thank you
You said that parts, coming from USA, were assembled in Devon: are you sure? This can be true in a first time (WWII) but after I guess that the tractors were totally produced in Devon. What do you think about.
In the “general talk” I’ve put a post about a “ghost factory” as nobody in Buckfastleigh remember the Gravely. Also I want your opinion about that!
Anyway I want to thank you again for this post which showed me something new

Thank you very much Alan for the post and the pics in it. This is the first time that I see an australian decals. My friends of the Gravely Tractor Club Of America will enjoy it, sure!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Nice to see something personalised. Look on the Gutbrod site and you should find some good pictures of ploughs to suit. There were lots of attachments available and Chester Hudson may be able to help you there. Twin ploughs may be an option as I have those for my Allen.

Thanks for that. Anyone any ideas on original colour or a better photo of the decal ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Did you get new o rings to go in the on/off valve ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Stuart, can you email me on paws44@btinternet.com Phil

[vhgmcbuddy]

That’s got to be a bargain, I don’t recognizes what it’s parts of. But if I follow your post I will probably get the answer.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Charlie, thanks.

‘Gently’ and ‘hammer’ two words that I don’t often use in the same sentence…

I’ll try on Friday and report back.

I felt that the “pond” was the sea or the Channel but I live so far from Calais (500 miles)
anyway If you want to come you’re welcome

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks John, Yes the pond is on the premises, about 10 years ago my two sons wanted to dig this pond. So we hired a digger and the boys did the rest, They got carried away and it ended up twice the size I had marked out. I hope you get that museum one day, from what I’ve seen on here of your machines they are certainly worth putting on show.

Still struggling with this.

I think that the alloy pulley has fused to the steel pin. It wouldn’t be a drama but for the fact that I need to get into the gear box to find out why there is so much play (https://youtu.be/-lUgvWyEZC4).
I have taken all the bolts out of the case but it shows no signs of coming apart. I am loathed to hit is as it is cast.

Can anyone tell me how to get this blessed thing apart? The time when I need to christen the snow plough is closing in and the present wife will never let me live it down if I’ve spent all this time and we still have to dig ourselves out by hand!!!

[vhgmcbuddy]

The replacement copy of The Cultivator has still not arrived, is there a reason?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes it would be nice if it was airbrushed but its a quick wrap I did for myself.
Still very effective and something a bit different.
