It appears that engine will work with the reposer kit available. Anyone ever used or...

I bought a new Hobart Ironman 230 at Tractor Supply in Uniontown PA back in April 2010. I used it probably 4 times since then. I put a new roll of .035 wire on it and I noticed it was't pushing the wire out like it should kind of a bind. When I got it it had a 10lb spool on it and I put a 33 LB...

Since being rebuilt It has ran for 3 hours. It runs great at low idle and you can't really hear any knocks or sounds. When you throttle up it starts knocking or ticking sound and the engine acts like its starving for fuel. When I engage the PTO the engine boggs way down at first until I throttle...

I finally got the Kohler 8hp rebuilt. It now has over 100 LBS of compression. I still have a bit of a knock or ticking sound to the engine. Is this just the nature of this old engines. The more throttle I give the engine the louder the knock or ticking sound. Any ideas.

I tore down the kohler 8hp well I only too the head off and the piston and rod out. I installed new gaskets , piston , rod and rings. I didn't remove the cam , crank or valves. Once I removed the piston and rod I turned the crank a couple of turns not thinking them I assembled a new piston and...

Anybody have any gravely history? I 've seen articles about them. I seen that A gentleman named Mr Harper was one of Mr Gravelys right hand machinist back in the 1940's. What I've seen is that he split ways with Gravely and went off on his own and opened a Machine Shop in Dunbar called Harper...

We tore down the 8hp kohler last night. I seen that it is .020 over piston so it had been bored. It is low on compression. I noticed a a lot of carbon build up on the piston could that be a sign of a lot of oil burning due to needing rings. Question can the rings that came with the OEM rebuild...

I'm in the process of building a towable backhoe. I took the Woods BH6000 Backhoe off my old Mahindra I no longer have and turning it into a towable unit I can pull behind the new John Deere 3032e. I'll post more photos when i get it complete.

I have the Kohler 8 hp K181 engine on both of my gravleys. Both engines my oil burning and in some cases oil pouring into the carb. I ordered a rebuild kit on ebay to do one of them and if it goes well I';ll overhaul the second one. Anyone had any experience overhauling one of these engines?

Which is best - I currently have both. I haven't gotten o try the BCS out yet because I bought it with a gear out. I hear the Gravelys are better brush hogs and snow pushers. The BCS is the best tiller on the market I hear. Anyone have any experience with either.

Are the Honda GC 160 engines designed to be rebuilt. I tore my GC 160 down and can't get the Piston or Rod out because the upper half of the engine does't separate.

Gravely 5260 will run great for almost an hour then its starts bogging down like it is starving for fuel and will finally die. It doesn't back fire. Could this be carburetor or a coil and points issue? It has the Kohler 8 hp engine.

I need a new set of wheels and tires on my 5260. I've seen harbor freight has a set of 8 inch trailer tires on one piece wheels and the bolt hole patterns will match up on my gravely hubs. Has any one ever used tires like that on there gravely or are they too hard to get traction with.

What is the price range of a entry level ventrac machine with a 60 inch mower? I've seen them on display up at Hartville Hardware in Ohio.

I purchased a new FS 90 last year. It was a great purchase. I had a FS 80 Stihl since 2004 and still have it. It runs excellent and is in good shape. I definitely prefer the FS 90 over the 80 for power reasons. When I first purchased the FS 90 I didn't like it as well as the 80 but over time it...

I'm currently looking at a 1980's model steiner tractor with a mower deck and snow blade. Are these good units? Are parts available for them. This unit has a older 16hp Kohler Engine on it. This unit runs great and is still being used to clean snow off of parking lots today. I wasn't sure if...

I owned a Kubota B7500 2009 - 2011 and it was a great machine. I purchased a woods 3pt 750 backhoe for it in Oct 2010 for $1500 which I thought was a great deal. The problem I seen was that the Woods 750 was too big and heavy for a 21hp tractor. I'm just posting this to warn others before you...

Terramite Backhoe Corp was formed and developed right here in central wv. Its amazing to me that most local people here in this area have no idea that Gravelys were invented and build here along with terra mite backhoes. Terramite still has a factory here in Cross Lanes today. Glad that we can...

I purchased a used Exmark 48 inch viking back in 2010 with 1100 hours on it. It had a 17 HP Kawasaki Engine on it with ECS controls. It was a excellent mower for the amount of hours it had on it. I used it for 150 hours and only had 1 issue and that was the bolts that holds the deck onto the...

I just recently sold my Toro Z Master 400 Zero Turn Mower. I wanted to review or tell a little on how good of a machine it is. Toro stopped making the Z 400 in 2010. The Toro was my 3rd zero turn and the best I've owned hands down. Very easy to work on and very reliable.

I'm just wondering if the specs on the Mahindra Max 28 is actually right? Small frame tractor such as it being able to lift 2200 LBS at the 3pt hitch. I really like the Max and I may get one in the future but I doubt some of the specs. Anyone know anything about how accurate they are. Thanks

I wanted to review the new Miller Diverson Tig 180. We got this new Tig back in August and it has impressed me. I have welding 1/8 Aluminum Plate with ease. The 180 is a major upgrade from the Diverson 165. The machine is great for a beginner big welder because it has all the settings preset for...

I'm always traveling to Amish County in Ohio and I see a lot of Ventrac equipment in that area. Now I understand that they are made in Wanye County Ohio. I always thought that Stiener was the tractor that was made there and not Ventrac. I'm glad to see that Ventrac is producing products here in...

I just bought a John Deere 3032e. I have a woods bh 6000 backhoe from my old tractor. I was wondering if I could build a sub frame that would work on that John Deere or would I be better off to turn the Backhoe into a trailer or towable deal I can hook up to the 3pt hitch. I understand that the...

I currently have a Farmtrac 3130 with a FEL and a 3pt backhoe. I love the tractor it can lift about 1400lbs with my front pallet forks. One of my friends has offered me a good amount of money for it so I 'm going to sell it to him plus I'm looking at getting a sub mount backhoe instead of a 3pt...
