Correct transmission oil for newer Gravely 12 Professional two wheel tractor Recently purchased a Gravely 12 hp Professional two wheel tractor probably one of the last ones built, but there is no model or serial 's on the machine. Get something with the 4 speed transmission.Forum Rules. Up until 9 months ago, I'd never used a Gravely with a steering brake, but I can see how it would be super handy going across a hill side. For mowing on the hill, make sure you get dual wheels. If you're comfortable working on stuff like that, the older ones are tough old machines. If it's a manual start machine, it's done with a strap. I prefer the Kohlers just because those engines are what I'm used to working on. My current Gravelys are both "newer" still late '70s, mid '80s models with Kohlers on them. I've owned a Gravely of one sort or another since - an old Model L. I had this Pro It cut the grass around the house better then anything I have owned and that's a lot.īut it was very heavy and although I got the adapter to use the old style attachments, the machine was just too cumbersome.

It seems like the L8 was the best of the L models because of the transmission, but I havent seen info on how it compares to the many later models. I have been reading and researching and am having trouble finding out which is the best model gravely 2 wheel tractor to seek out. Lots of gravely though, many with several additional attachments. I had considered a BCS type tractor but cannot afford one at this time and used ones in my area are rare. Its primary use will be brush mowing on slopes too steep for a 4 wheel tractor. I am looking to purchase a gravely 2 wheel tractor.
