I've seen Gravelys. But not like this.















Here is a line from the listing.
"Hello! up for sale is a Gravely Westchester. This tractor will be a hit at a Gravely or Studebaker show (made during the Studebaker ownership years)"

That is one rare beast! Never seen one in person. Front end is basically the walk-behind without the handles so those attachments can be used, not sure how it lifts them though. Would be cool to play with.

that is weird..ive owned a few gravely walk-behinds and i can only imagine that if they use the same rigid mounted attachments then that machine would need to articulate in the middle in an up/down manner to raise and lower them

Yeah those are weird and have a Rube Goldberg steering mechanism. Did you buy it or just commenting about it.

I have always thought that they were an attempt by Gravely to get into the four wheel tractor business on the cheap. I understand that they are rare but I also can see why.

There's more 'body' on that machine than any I own. Lots of stamping and finish work went into such a little critter. I bet the cost didn't justify the sales margin on that one. It's ugly, but neat!
