[AT] FW: Gravely 816

[Peter Gerhardt]

I have a newer version of that tractor and I don’t find changing the implements that hard.  I can take off the mowing deck and put the snowblower on in under 15 minutes.  Having the implements run via a shaft vs. belts makes it a lot easier to change them.  For using the other front mount attachments that were originally intended to use on Gravely’s two when tractors require the use of four bolts to connect them to the adapter.  Installing the rear pto for the tiller can be a pain and you can’t leave it in place when using the other pto.
 
The Onan motor is a real work horse and people who have them seem to love them. 
 
I have the same snowblower for my tractor and have never had it clog.  The discharge chute is huge and in the Gravely world it is known as the snow cannon.   There is a yhoo group for Gravely tractors and an excellent with manuals, parts list and sales flyers at: www.oldgravelys.net/docs
 
Parts a readily available and can be purchased from dealers or online.
