Years ago, when I was a young boy, my dad had a used and unusual tractor. It was a Gravely but not your normal "walk-behind".
It was like a walk-behind but it was a full frame and steered the rear wheels. No it wasn't a sulky, it had a real steering wheel and no handle bars. To lift the front PTO a hydraulic tilted the whole engine transmission up. I remember mowing the lawn with it a few times (with it's front mounted mower), it was quite a BEAST (because it was so wide and LOUD). It had the dual wheels up front with turf tires. And I'm pretty sure the hood was fiberglass (much wider/bigger than any gravely I've every seen).
We lost it (and every thing else) in a fire in 1975. Now this thing is stuck in my memory and I don't know what it was. I've search a few of the Gravely sites and it doesn't exist (???) Is my memory fooling me? Was it something else? Does anyone every seen a rig like this? Pictures?
