We had a Gravely tractor back in the '60s that was made by a decendant of Studie, Studebaker-Worthington Industries. Thing was WILD-you started it by pulling a rope, which you had to wind around this shaft, it had dual rear wheels, no fronts & a "riding sulky". The lawnmower, or whatever else you wanted to use on it mounted on the frront, & rode over the grass on skids. It was kinda an overgrown self-propelled push lawnmower, & it shook the Shite outta you using it. Very tough, though. My dad sold it sometime in the late '70s for about what he paid for it, he said. It was air-cooled, & I think the design dated back to the late-30s. Anybody else ever have one of 'em? -Sandy G.
