I just brought this mower home, in pieces, as a favor for a friend. It has been sitting for 15+ years. The engine will arrive later; it has no compression. I would like to identify this thing for certain so I can get some manuals for it. Apparently Gravely used the name "Promaster" for many mowers, so I'm calling it that because it looks like the Promaster 400 pictured on line.. This one has a 3 cylinder Yanmar engine, a 72" 3-blade mower out front, a hydrostatic transmission, and rear wheel hydraulic steering. Any information, identification, comments, or ideas are most appreciated.

Can you post a photo of the unit?
Do you know the model number of the engine ?

Thank you for the link, but it looks like my greatest skill, that of buying, trading for, accepting, or otherwise accepting one of a kind, obsolete, unidentifiable, or totaly unknown machinery is still intact. Jack's Small Engine doesn't recognize the model number, but the Yanmar engine is common enough that overhaul parts are available. So, onward, stimulating the economy.

Try Richard's in Spencer WV. He's got a lot of knowledge about that old Gravley stuff.

That link doesn't work, but I found a local Gravely dealer. With photos, numbers, and the faded front cover, he determined it is a Promaster 400, 22 HP, built sometime in the early '90s'. Thanks to all who replied = now the fin begins.
