Nice pictures Bruce. The first one is Richards 'booth'. Just to the right is a trailer where he had a large circular saw blade (used) he was trying to sell along with a log splitter attachment. Another guy there had a stump grinder attachment for sale. For those of you who have never seen the log splitter or stump grinder in action there are videos of them on you-tube. Dont have links but type in Gravely and search. The videos are amazing - the Gravely makes quick work of logs and stumps!

Got there at 1:15. Kept asking people if you were there. Everyone told me you were there in the morning. They looked around but didn't see you. I was wearing an organge Tennessee football t-shirt. Next time will have to get your cell number and call when I get there. I stayed a couple of hours.

Hi Guys
I finally got a gear done for the L model that I think will work.
I will use a top hat or bushing on the end like Gravely uses
on the late model.
I took a gear Martin S1015
and a 1 inch coupling bored the coupling out left about .002 small.
Pressed the gear hub into the coupling with a key all ready in coupling .
Welded them together.
Bored the gear end out so engine crank shaft can go all way through.
Also machined a pocket in the gear end for the top hat to fit.
Machined off to fit on the engine shaft length.
Now all I like is having it harden.
and make the top hat and have it harden. :thumbsup:

Well finally I got my print done and have been trying to get prices.

I finally got the print done so now to get prices
I am getting made out of 4140 steel 1 piece no welding
Hardened and ground inside and out
Looks like it will run about 125. to 150.

Hey Bruce - would you still need the 'top hat' with this or is it all one piece?

 

[gravelymay]

Yes there are 4 pieces.
1. Top Hat
