Wow! If it runs as good as it should (rebuilt engine) I would think that this is a lot of machine for the money. And the seller listed it at $1500 OBO. Who lives around Co.?

It's all Gravely, Al. You see even less of them with both decks than you would with just the belly deck. This one is the whole enchilada. 1500 OBO. I have to wonder what his OBO number might be. 1500 already seems like a good price to me.

There you are Hey You! i was trinking at that price a road trip might be in order for you.
You could keep this gem working long after you're gone with all the 9000 stock you already own. And, twice as wide a swath!
Actually it sounds a little bit like too much of a good thing.:dunno:

1200 and change miles one way, driving something capable of hauling it back though........ Ouch, that would be painful on the wallet. Probably around 500 bucks in gas alone..... And that assumes no major breakdowns..... (considering my truck has almost 200K miles on it.... that might be a stretch.
)Now, I DO have a friend that goes out in that direction fairly regularly..... (he has family out that way....) Might be able to work something out with him.
Gonna have to have a chat with him. :sidelaugh

Either that or look into shipping. I'd bet it could be done for less than $500.1200 and change miles one way, driving something capable of hauling it back though........

I once shipped a Mercedes Benz from CA to MA for $400. Big issue is being sure it's what they say it is. It is CL and distance buying is suspect in general.
The preferred contact is a guy with a tel # you could get a sense of him, and maybe have your friend confirm things in person, Just thought since you are so fond of those and know so much about them. . . . What was helihippie asking for his?

I still have it but I haven't used it in nearly a year. I bought into a business that's taking 10-12 hours, 7 days a week. I'm having a blast!

My 9000 "sold" for $1850 but the bidder was a deadbeat. I've put a lot of hours on it since then & it really could use fwd/rev clutches.
I did recently buy a diesel conversion L-8 that has fast become a favorite in the herd.

As for my 9000, I'd consider selling it, I need something with a bucket & I just don't feel the need to add a bucket to a machine that already takes 3 hands to operate, lol.

I think HH was asking about 2K or so for his, but, his was pretty much completely reconditioned. So far as I know, he still has it.... (ebay buyer never came thru...) He might have sold it since then, but, I have no info on that. His would be closer.

Thanks Al.
Did anyone notice there's a blade missing from the wing mower? They are an unusual blade size, I modified mine for more common blades. (I don't have a wing mower but the 72" deck blades are strangely narrow.)

If you really look close, it looks like the whole shaft is missing. The wing mower is easy to get a blade for. It is a 50" deck. " Hello Richards, send me 3 blades #11234."
