Any Interest in this Gravely 566?

[HHR]

The wheel drive transmission went out on the Gravely 566 the other day. We are going to upgrade to a new unit and were wondering if there was any interest in the machine or parts of it. It has the mower and the blower attachment.
The serial number is 00390374.

I think I will post it in the classifieds section and Craigslist.
Does anyone know if any new machines are available to do the jobs that the 566 did? Every equipment dealer that I talk to wants to sell me a rider.

I'm surprised the BCS guys haven't already posted to suggest that you buy a BCS.

I'd fix the 566 and keep going. If you were only closer.....

That is a pretty good idea, 2manyrocks. I'm glad you thought of it!

I just remembered you said it was the thing to do.

I've never had the pleasure of running a Gravely, but would love to someday. From what I've heard, they're just about impossible to stop.

It has been a great machine. The meter shows over 8100 hours.

She is loaded up and ready to be delivered to her new owners (who happen to be Gravely collectors).

Hey HHR,

Glad to hear the ol' girl has found a new home. Did you buy a new gravely? I hear they're very expensive, but very nice, being a hydro drive Rapid

A new Gravely is going to be out of my price range. I have looked at the Brown walk behind brush mowers and am still undecided.
