I grew up with the old Model L walk behind Gravelys. I have 3 Model Ls and a 73 commercial 12 with many attachments.
Anyone have any good Gravely stories?

I lived on a small city lot for 7 years and my only mower was a Gravely 30" brush Hog. I was mowing the strip between the sidewalk and street and the blade caught the water shut off. It pulled about 14 inches of it out of the ground and chopped the cast iron up into bits, while spraying the bits about 30 feet away. The engine never stalled. Talk about an overbuilt torquey machine.
