rrlund,
Only Grey Hound that either me or my husband had ever seen. Wish we could have heard it running.

How'd the other post get so wide? Anyways, here's one of my three Gravelys - 432, I also have a 430 and a 8183T. Pop likes the 432 the best ( He just turned 89 ).

I was going to suggest the Gibson, Gilson, Gar-Scott, but don't have pictures of any of them. And one of my friends has a nice running condition Gar-Scott, Has thrashed our oats with it several years. |
