Hello Angus Shapland
I discovered some fliers and booklet in the MERL: Museum of English Rural Life which is settled in the University of Reading. A very kind person, named Kristy gave me infos and sent all they had.For instance this
Quick update on the paint. Have now painted the engine cowl,petrol tank and engine base plate. and the match is spot on. Must admit under flouresent light and trying to take flash photos,a strange phenonomen happens, the green looks pink on the photos. well I cannot post those so when the first opportunity arises i.e. sunshine, will take it ouside and take some in natural light.

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.
I am fairly sure that I can remember Gravely with a Devon address being advertised in the UK publication Country Life. That would have been in the late 1940s, early 50s. Country Life is still going, – wonder how good their records/archives are?
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

ps excuse my “french” english
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!
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.
