Gravely 24g impressions?

[Bwgad96]

Hi, I have the chance to buy a gravely 24g. Its the 72 inch deck, runs and drives, with around a 1000 hours. It is said to have a cracked frame. I work at a gravely dealer, and we have a 24g sitting back in the parts lot that had a front end fire. The dealer manager has seen both machines, and says he can weld the cracked frame no problem, it will just take about 6 hours to dissasemble it. So heres the question. Buy the 24g spend 1200, plus a few hundred more getting all the bugs fixed, or pass. If I do buy, im going to buy the parts machine as it is compleate, has the original low hour Oman untouched, and front/read wheel weights, and a great deck. Thanks Blake

I would go with the fire job.

Sorry it took so long. Here is the pictures of the one that had the fire. Still haven't seen the other one.

How'd this end up working out for you? Last time I talked with Lenny that fire ridden 24G had high hours on it, or maybe I'm just misreading the post.
