    Gravely 9000gmt advice?

    Hi guys. I'm looking for some advice here. I'm considering buyong a Gravely 9000GMT with just 99 original hours. I think they were made between 1977 and 1982. Not sure of the year on this one. It does not have the 3 point in the back, but everything is functional and no leaks. It's...

    Vickers pump gpm?

    OldHokie.....Yes. I think that's my exact loader in the video. I ended up ordering an 11gpm joystick and have everything torn apart waiting for it. It should get here within a week or so. Thanks again everyone for the help!

    Vickers pump gpm?

    OH....No, I still don't know exactly what pump I have. It's a front mounted, Vickers vane pump that has the numbers 2-27 and then what looks like 22261 on another part of it. At this point I'm thinking I'll go with an 11gpm control and hope for the best. Does that sound like a decent plan?

    Spark / carburetor issue. Any suggestions?

    Hi Bruce (and anyone else reading this). Thanks for the response. I did test the battery this afternoon and it seemed ok. I checked for spark and it seemed intermittent. My father-in-law recommended switching out the condenser with one we had in a parts box. We did that and it seemed to run...

    Spark / carburetor issue. Any suggestions?

    Hi guys. So I have a very recently rebuilt, 6 volt, front mount distributor 8N. All new wiring, new distributor, new coil, new points. I started it up about a week ago and made it half way down my yard when it started sputtering and eventually died. I pulled a plug and checked for...

    A finished project (almost) and a Thank you!

    Thanks guys. It's definitely been fun. Ultratradog.... the loader is a Skyline. It was made in Kansas. I thinks it's a 1951. Could be wrong though. I really wanted that specific loader, but I could only find one for sale and it was about 800 miles away. Then one day I happened to be...
