I picked up this "65 101 from a nice guy down the street tonight.He parked it a few years ago when his wife bought him a new one for Christmas.I guess she thought shiny was better LOL!It's a clean/straight original.Shouldn't take much to get her going.He said it worked great when he parked it.

After we BS's for a while he said make any offer and he'd take it.There was a Gravely LI with a few things next to it,so i offered $100-for it all.He was more than happy,and so was i!I'm gonna sell the Gravely to get some money back in my pocket. |

Shawn. You are one lucky guy to find a deal as good as that one. Enjoy your tractor. Dave |
Money can't buy you happiness. It can however buy you a beer. And that is close enough.

Fine bargain! Even has an original muffler on it. I see the Gravely in the shed, what's the other tractor? Case? Did you get the deck with it? |

Nice pick up! I have always thought I've gotten reasonable deals, but I have yet to find the old tractor in the shed that the owner is happy to part with for a mere pittance! Hats off to ya. |

I did some cleanup,with a shop vac and air compressor.I removed all the leaf,pine needles,bird crap and other stuff that was in it.The tank is clean and it has brite blue spark,shouldn't take much to get her going.I had a factory set of lights(with bar)laying around so i tossed that on.I have some factory weights with matchina patina i'm gonna put on next!Looks MUCH better already .

Those 101's are really punchy! I had one which I sold off early in my hobby. I demonstrated it to the buyer by wacking through weeds, dozing some of my yard and parked it in front of him. Asked him if he wanted to try it. He said "I'll take it." He was happy, I was happy. He didn't even try it. |

Been looking for one of those for a long time. $100 for the 101 and a graveley? I guess I'll stop feeeling guilty about the nice 7112H I just got for $300. Any chance you could post pics of the drive belt arrangement on the blower? Thanks |
