Gravley L
Model Year: 0
I inherited a Convertible Custom from my father. He purchased it used in 1972 from a dealer who told him it was a "demo unit". I feel it might be a '50's or '60's model. It has the optional electric start and a governor added. It is a rugged unit. Also, I have to file or replace the points in the magneto every time I use it. My only complaint is I wish my father spent an extra $300 and purchased a new Convertible Custom Swift-a-Matic. It would make life a lot easier for me. Attachments: I have the rotary plow, snowblower, 30 inch rotary mower, and a tool cultivator.
Pros: Rugged unit, dependable.
Cons: I would not recommend it for a small frame person. It can be a chore to handle at times. I have to file or replace the points in the magneto every time I use it. When using the rotary plow, in high gear, the tractor lacks the power to do an efficient job. In low gear, the dirt falls back in the furrow.
