    Ford 4610 MFWD w/Loader

    I'm seriously considering purchasing a 1985, 4610, 4wd, front loader, that looks, and is described as "mint condition". Anyone own a 4610 and if so what are your thoughts? I like the heaviness of the tractor and simplicity based on what I've read. Again, all thoughts and opinions are welcomed...

    Spinning PTO Shaft

    Yes, it is turning at a pretty significant RPM. And yes it will turn any implement. For example, with a square baler hooked up, its not turning hard enough to produce a bale, but turns enough for a grinding sound .....

    Spinning PTO Shaft

    No sir....I don't believe I'm doing that. It "clicks" in to neutral, as well as active PTO and ground PTO....

    Spinning PTO Shaft

    I've got a 1959 MF50.....The PTO shaft is spinning, even when in the "neutral" position. i.e. The tractor is moving, running forward, the PTO lever is in neutral, but the PTO shaft is spinning. I had a so-called tractor mechanic work on it and fix it (not sure if he did a darn thing). What is...

    Gravely L8 Won't Start

    Let me be just a little more specific. If the garage was in complete silence, when I try to start it, the garage stays in complete silence. Not a single sound except for the click of the starter button when my boot pushes it. I'll definitely check the plug today, especially if the trickle...

    Gravely L8 Won't Start

    I have a '64 L8 with electric start. I moved it today to do work in my garage. Fired right up. Went to move it back 3 hours later and it gave a minimal crank. The 3rd and 4th try, absolutely nothing. I put it on trickle charge and will try tomorrow, but I don't believe it's the battery...

    '64 Gravely L8 Super

    Thank you both for your replies. Yes, the machine does have dual wheels. And yes I found a front chain guard on eBay and yes I'm still choking from sticker shock. Again, I believe a new one could be fabricated for 1/10 the cost. I do plan on putting a pig tail lead to the battery to have...

    '64 Gravely L8 Super

    I just purchased an L8 (1964) from my local Craig's list over the weekend. Seems to be a super machine. Here are a few questions I have: 1. Should I be mowing brush/heavy grass in the low axle speed with the low control gear? 2. I will be mowing horizontally on steep banks. Will I be...

    Gravely Model-L Govenor Sheared in half

    Jeffcat, I understand you know just about anything and everything on walk behind gravelys. Just purchased a 1964 L8 this past Sunday. Do you have an email address I could send you a list of questions I have. I'm in Fairmont WV. Thanks, John

    MF 50 PTO Engagement

    I have a 1959 MF50. The PTO will not stay engaged. I notice it more with heavier implements like a baler and brush hog vs a small tedder. It is as though it is vibrating out of engaged PTO. Also, in neutral PTO, the PTO shaft will spin lightly, not so much with tractor standing still, but...

    Farm pond question

    I don't know of any law about grass carp. I'm in the state of West Virginia. No laws here on purchasing grass carp here.

    Sediment Bowl Assembly and Shutoff

    I have a 1959 MF50 that is leaking at the sediment bowl. I'm wanting to replace the entire assembly, as the shut off valve is also locked up. Do I have to drain my gas tank to replace the entire assembly?

    Farm pond question

    cant say whether or not it is good for your garden, but raking it is not good for your back. Do yourself a huge favor and go to your local feed store/ Southern States and order 2 grass carp. I've been down the road of algae and unwanted vegetation growing in my pond. These grass carp...

    2006 MF 1533 w/Bucket

    I'm looking at purchasing this tractor. It will be my first 4x4 tractor. I'm currently busing a 2wd MF50 (1959 purchase). Any and all comments are welcome. I'm on a 40 acre farm that's steep and bumpy in every direction. Wanting it to mow with a sickle and brush hog, carry a round bale on a...
