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

Hi there I havealso a bmb plowmate but mine has a 6hp map engine which has a trailer instead of the plow as the last owner removed it all and made the trailer,my bmb has the spiked twin wheels which I am looking to replace with rubber tyres as I an not using it to plow with.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thats interesting, thanks!

Yes I do have some extra bracket wings to turn it into a set of 5. I have the remains of the other 2 units in a box by the looks of it!

Had a play with them tonight. They do cut. Not the best I have seen, but do block up every so often. The 2 fronts do seem to choke the rear so you may have answered my question. Once I had been over an aera several times it seemed to be better. Had them on full height & had plenty of cut grass flying out!

Think I will have to strip & sharpen then & sort the wonky wheels when & get the other mower sorted.
