Title: Upgrade your snowplow for the winter, cub cadet, CL, new haven
Post by: chuck peterson on November 06, 2017, 06:23:06 AM

I like where this could be headed...lotsa snow? Bling your mower/snowplow! Endless process improvement during those bleak winter months...

Ok! Now I am ashamed. My Cub is completely stock. It time to dig thru the parts box.

That would be a downgrade from my Gravely 8122...

Does the Gravely stuff last forever or does it just seem that way?

They seem to last longer and they're not resold often.  https://www.gravely.com/100years/enthusiasts/

The old walk-behinds (with Gravely built engine) will last virtually forever if cared for. Same basic design from 1936 until 1976, so parts availability is good. I've had my '64 since 1985 - it's mowed a lot of grass, plowed a lot of garden, pushed a lot of snow, cleared a lot of brush and even cut down a few trees along the way. I did a top-end refresh (rings and valves) a few years ago and it's finally starting to break in again.  :wink:
