Hello again. Got a few more questions on the gravelys. I figured out that my LI powertrain is a 59, or parts of it, serial M39493. The rest of it is a mid 60s custom. Aluminum carb, aircleaner, ect... the guy I bought it from handed me a rounded aluminum serial plate when I bought it. The tractor was repainted and the serial plate never reattached. But I cannot see and holes where it used to be. Maybe they got filled. Dunno. No Serial on the lower left case.
Doesn't look to be much difference in the motor and drive train from 59-mid 60s, anything worth mentioning?
My hood wont stay up and the end of the hood is dented in from PO forcing it to stay up. I would like the hood to stay up. 59 was not designed for a custom hood. I guess I just neatly wack a (V) in it like the old hoods?
There is no governor on this tractor. Why is this and do I need one? how hard is it to find and install?
Richard turned my carb around in one day and I will be getting it back soon. I would like to flush out the crankcase with kerosene or something while I am waiting and change the oil. is there a procedure for this?
