The big Oshkosh snowblowers at the airport near me especially the military ones on the Air Guard side are similar...open auger to a strong impeller. Very neat!
Yep ... correct they where quite a sight in the early sixties .... I ran my grandfathers .... and a Gravely L88 w/ a 2-stage thrower will go through almost anything ...
It seems to pull its own weight for its size. One most important thing I've noticed is it didn't spin its wheels like all those tin cans sold today. It pushes until it stall. Quite the work horse.
I picked up the same blower along with a blade and 1974 swift attic machine. I haven't tried the blower out yet. I like the aim-able chute. Yours seems to do quite well. Nice videos.
Very nice machine & video! Have you considered adding a governor to this machine ? I have a couple of L-8s and two of the MA 115 blowers (one is missing its crank mechanism). They are a real beast !
I'm going to get "thumped" for this but, "back in the day" we called this type a snow thrower (single stage), instead of snowblower (2 or now 3 stage). Be gentle.
Beautiful machine! I have the original sales literature catalogue of this model.

Got a 1941 i have no clue ware to start paint. I know the engine needs work but seeing this i know it will be worth fixing up
What a Beast!

If you had one of these in 1960 you would of been top dog Seems to really get to work in the deep snow Yea its slow but alot faster than shoveling
NIce! I can see why they call it the "dog eater"
That's quite the machine you have. Wow. Are the bearings for the auger greaseable?
Love the tires!
No governor?
That's awesome!! Do you make housecalls?
The Gravely Dog Killer

That looks like a great cat chaser

It's a two stage snowblower though because it has an impeller.....
Well, they don't make 'em like they used to.
That's sad.
thats the worst snowblower gravely made. regular dogeater or ma210 is much better.
Doesn't look that way to me.
