Those blades are crossed for a reason to mow a manicured lawn your space that holds the blades on your mower are slightly bent they are supto be perfectly crossed ok they made a bushhog blade it was twice as thick made to be run as a single blade could cut saplings upto 2 inch thicker if you learned how to manipulate the tractor Now lastly if your in heavy grass remove tha back guard set it aside take the front guard out it on the back now you can mow heavy grass . Setting the mower like this is a little dangerous it will throw debris stones half a brick yea brick . This is why gravely made the rotary mower with the permanent guards after we figured out this method of mowing. I've used gravely walk behinds for nearly 50 years cant beat em
Ron Reuwer yep you are right. I have the other thicker brush blade. The cross piece bent when I was mowing up in the field behind the house. Since this video I bent the shaft on the 30” when I was mowing multi flora roses down. I use the sh*t out of these Gravely tractors. Sometimes I’m too hard on them. Thanks for the comment.
Would you recomment one those for a market garden tool? Would they hold up to at least half acre worth of cultivating? Do they spin out easily? Cannot have breakdowns or hassels. Any information on these will help.
The muds not that deep here in PA but sticks and grass gets up in between the spacers and sometimes pops the exposed tube. My '64 this season has dual wheels on the spacers and the atv tires are on vacation.
Great video John,I finally have one of these mower decks coming to me and figured out where to get the ATV tires and I'm gonna copy your genius but how bout throughin up the link to that cross blade and what is the thickness of the blades? Thanks again
The tires are from an atv. I loved them in action for a while. They mount in between the cast iron dual whee spacers --on two split rims. One on each side. It’s Complicated to fix if you get a flat. I switched to duals. But still have these on the shelf years later. Thanks for watching. I’m into the 5665’s now for work. I keep these L’s for shows.
That was awesome! Love the tires and decals, thanks for sharing!

Man did a great job mulching that, like those tires.

Where in the world did you get those tires
Where did you find those wife tires? Do they work with the regular dual wheel spacers?

Is there a tube?
Is it ok to run the 30" in low gear? I'm just a little nervous to put it in high for brush hogging.
Showed that corn who’s boss.
hard to believe this is only 6.6 hp; good torque, thanks for watching
Hi thanks for the comment,,,,what can I say, I'm just a one of a kind "Corn-Star"
