Look up a national club I used to belong to(too many other things going on) called the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association. They have a chapter down your way I think. Those guys collect anything old and rusty, and alot of them know where to find parts for almost anything old and rusty. You'll be able to either sell it, or fix it thru them.
Here's the web page:

Great bunch of guys to hang out with!

That gang would be positively ORGASMIC out at leathermang's outpost.

Hehe! Easy for you to say...you have an almost infinte amount of space for projects on their um, journey. I, on the other hand, am constrained by the oh-so-finite boundaries of the urban domecile and, of course, SWMBO.

A fun hobby, but not when you are trying to move. I've lost track of the number of trips I've made to the scrap metal bin at our garbage transfer station

Zeitgeist, That is ok... I know of people with wives who keep a list of the Gravely's or David Bradley's in the shed and are suspicious any time the pickup arrives home...
This is bad since most Gravely owner's object is " one Gravely for each implement "... and Gravely made about 75 implements ....
There is a Wisconsin Yahoo group.. but that is a low hp engine...
I have a Wisconsin with old fashioned magneto , shielded spark plug wire and 6 to one gear reduction... sure looks industrial in strength....

TX76513, Yes, your recent doubling of your Gravely inventory may indicate you need to plan ahead.... Your first priority must be to identify any and all projects which would please the Mrs which can even remotely be helped by using the Gravely.... then you must put them at the very top of your 'to do ' list.... willingly and with Gusto....
When the project is completed be sure to point out the important work the Gravely did... and this is a good time to soften the ground for future implements by mentioning what else you could have done had you had ' thus and so implement'....
Better to avoid the wife getting the idea ( no matter how true) that you are a Gravely magnet..... keep everything as low key as possible.... if you are really worried.... you may need to keep some acquistions at a neighbors yard around the block.. and just ' borrow' it when you need to use it.....

Well the local Gravely/MB shop was going to put one to sleep (they only keep 'em for so long) so I had to take it home. I am safe though I have only key and door remote for garage #3 and that's where all the good stuff goes
