@Ida-Boy
When you talk with the Gravely dealer, ask if there is a suspension seat option.

Greetings all. New Gravely owner. Picked a used WAW 1034 walk behind the other day. Owner claimed the battery needed charging and the belts needed to be checked out. Turned out to be a bit more than those. Turned out the drive shaft was sheared. Just got the part in and replaced it without too much fuss. I have a question about the drive cable, but I'll ask that in another post. Here's a pic of the mower with friends.

Thanks,
Ed K.

Hello! First time Gravely owner here from Maine.
I sold my old MTD (pictured below) a few months ago and bought a new ZTX42 from my local small engine shop, had them put the mulching kit on it, and have been getting more and more used to it as I go. Of course, the more I use it, the more questions I have.
My wife says I overthink things; maybe so, but the reason we're all on this forum is our lawns are our hobbies, we just spent $4000 or more on a piece of equipment, and we want it to perform the best it can.
So let the overthinking begin!!


This is my old MTD. A buddy of mine that I used to drag race and paint the roads with got into paint and resto on muscle cars. So he told me to bring the hood of this thing in and he painted flames on it.


My new one


Thank you for having me!

newbie here with a oldie. I have a Gravely Pro 250 988067, 1996 I think, Need help. Ignition switch literally fell apart, vibration I guess. I have a new switch but the wires are all off the switch., I need to know what color wires go on each blade. can not find a picture or wiring diagram, only shows switch and harness. there are no markings on the switch

Picked a Gravely Pro 12 up today. I have no idea what I got myself into, but it looks promising reading through this forum. Came with a brush hog, tiller, and snow thrower.

Hello, I purchased my first ride on last spring. I have a 2021 Ariens XD52. I have loved it besides the rear right transaxle started leaking a couple weeks ago. It's in for service now. I bought it from lowes and like many others, they didn't put the seat on right, the lift pedal for the deck was backwards, and the bar behind the seat only has 3 bolts attached because the flange was bent a little somehow so it moves/wiggles. The way they put the seat on, I didn't realize I was riding on top of the flywheel cover the first couple hours. Other than those things, doing great! Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure..

hello all,
In Alabama. we just purchased an iKon 52". I wanted something a little more robust but the wife got that one. runs great and a lot more capable than our husky rider that's beat. I looked at the forums and found one old post that hadn't been answered. I'll post up if y'all want. just wanted to see if anyone has tried 22" tires on these and how it did? thanks!

I also wound like to know if anyone sent up to 22s on the ikon xd 52..
