On L models I plan on using a Kohler adapter plate
and re drill to fit the L transmission plus make a spacer
To hold the engine at the right spacing.
I won't need a gear spacer
It will be part of the gear.
This is as new to me as it is you
I only got this idea last week.
I have all ready got the long shaft made up
Here are some pictures of both. :thanku:

You do nice work GM.:fing32:

I have a question about the re-powers. With the Honda Clones and the diesels don't they have electronic ignition or electronic parts?

One of the reasons I wanted a Gravely 2 wheel with a Kohler engine was that it was a points and coil engine that would survive an EMP. I know, I know I am planning too hard for an event that will never happen. That is what preppers do, plan for the worst and buy stuff that will last (I.E. Gravely)

So for re-powers what are my options if I want something that will survive an EMP?

Thanks,
Monkymate

Go with Diesel:greendr:
They fire compression so no elect.
Except starter.
Maybe a fuel shut off valve.

Is there a diesel that will fit a 8000 series? I'm going to look at one for sale that has no motor and like to put a diesel on it if I buy it.

 

[BlownL67]

Would that be the 8122 w/no motor on Ebay ?

I haven't looked lately
But main thing is look for a 1 1/8 X 3.750 to 4.0 long crank shaft.
you may be able to get by with a 3.500 but that is almost short
Kaw makes a water cooled diesel
There was a Diesel in the yahoo group pictures

Wow, so it has been done. I wonder if the radiator could be relocated to the front though.

That's the one. I thouth I would check into putting a diesel on it.

I got the gravely home now I need to think about re-powering it.I did look into diesels but didn't find one yet.

How did you like the trip to Feeding Hills ? Looks like a Gravely junkyard eh ?

 

[al b]

It does look like he has been doing it for a while.

If you are worried about EMP just make a simple metal shield for the electronics, or park it in a metal shed.I think if we ever do get a EMP attack, mowing my lawn will be last on my list of things to do !

 

[Monkymate]

I am not worried about cutting grass. That will be for the goats and such if that happens. I AM worried about being able to use my still and running the plow and cultivator on my Gravely 2 wheel. The still will supply the fuel but it needs to run.

Do you think any one would want to re power a L or C or C10 models with a late model engine??:fing20:

There was a fellow who put a 23hp Briggs Vanguard on a 10A and it was all bolt on you just need the correct crank length, all the pics, part numbers and specs were on the web, but unfortunately the sites they were on have closed.

If you still have the URL(s), archive.org may have the website archived.

No one I know of. Plan on putting a Kohler Command Pro 7 on an L when I get the chance.
