I just sold it to a Gravely collector who needs it for a project, $100. Not bad for a $2 investment.

hahahaha, good for you. I bet the guy that bought it is also happy, probably a post on a tractor board "Look what I got for only $100"

Yes, The Gravely Tractor Collectors FB page. Too funny!

Gravely L8, best tractor you could buy, many attachments. That cylinder is at least 45 years old and will probably go on another tractor and last another 45 years. Glad it went to another collector/restorer.
