well it's been awhile but has been torn down stripped and now starting to paint and put back together but i did find the motor / block was cracked in the case so i'll have use my spare later model 7.6 motor but i'm going to use the old angle plug head to keep it looking orig.

Me and a childhood friend used to ride all over his grandma's farm w/a tractor like that...his dad built a trailer w/metal wheels that attached to the back of the tractor...to drive it, you had to be stand on the trailer, be able to hold the handles of the tractor up and steer it at the same time...he was older and bigger than me, so he did most of the drivin' , but I'll never forget those carefree days .... thanks for renewing the memory...wish I could say for sure it was a Gravely...too young to give a sh!t back then...

Resto lookin great, skools!!...lovin those pics!!...can't wait to see whacha gonna do w/the hood...
