Hello

Glad to have found the site and look forward to conversing on the forum, particularly Gravely chat.

Just picked up an unbelievably well-maintained Gravely 24-G with only 514 hours and hoping to figure out how to have a 48" snow blower attached before the snow flies in WV...so any and all help would be very welcomed.

Best wishes to all

I replied to your intro in the New Members thread, but here's my same response.....now in the correct thread..........

Yes, welcome to TBN ! ! !

Over the years I have owned a number of Gravely 4 wheel tractors, and currently also have a 1999 20-G with lawn mower and snowblower.

Both attachments are Gravely, so installation is a breeze. For the snowblower, you will need the 2 front side mounting plates for your tractor, along with the front pto kit. Have you looked into the Gravely snowblower??? If you can't find anything, let me know......I could dig up my manuals and scan a parts diagram.

One thing I have found from MANY years of snowblowing........even though the engine is in the rear, the tractor becomes a whole new, go-anywhere beast with additional weight on the rear. Along with tire chains, I add another 300# to the rear. In combination with the individual rear wheel brakes, the tractor will go almost anywhere my 4x4 Kubota will go. Impressive, to say the least ! ! !

Th4e 24G is an amazing yet different beast. The down side is finding a snow blower for it. You will likely be looking for a while.

Here is a detailed description.

I have no need for a snow blade or blower so my 24G with the 72" deck fits my needs quite nicely.
