Just spreading the word DJ. I know a few here do not do FB so figured I'd share :thThumbsUI saw this over on FB. Great idea! :fing32:

So where's the D list?:hide:Ok basically we are putting all of the known tractors to still exist on one spread sheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...RTNMPSNbe7DmsezoqHPib9qZW0/edit#gid=536593935
Hopefully thats the link to the google doc which was the easiest way we found to do it. Basic groups are 2 or 4 wheel and theres attachments. Any questions feel free and ask, Rich Nichols is going to be keeping track of this and Robert Ungar got the easy to use doc started so add away :fing32:
So where's the D list?:hide:
Jamie just asked the same thing, And theres a page now :thThumbsUI've added mine up to 1950.
Third sheet.Are the 4 wheel tractors to be entered into the list?
I put mine in where they belonged but either way works. Just it takes an extra step to do it if put in at the bottom because a serial number sort has to also followed by a year sort.I'd say just add them at the bottom. It's a database, the columns are sortable.
Hummmmm good question! Anywhere you see fit to put it be sure and add clean cut as a comment :fing32:Do I assume correctly the lack of any Clean Cuts means they are not to be included in the mix? If so, darn.... Nice idea to put this all together, a noble cause to contemplate.
I have a vid of candiangravelynut at a mow in when he got his here.

They made them with small and bigger decks. Im not sure on the sizes exactly :hide:
Smallest Clean Cut would be the 4-wheel push mower.Yup - that's what I believe is the smallest Clean Cut in the Clean Cut line. The larger frame Clean Cut is like the mower in my profile picture. The Clean Cut line was a joint venture between Gravely and the Clean Cut motor corp. in Fort Scott, Kansas in the early 60's. They made the larger frame Clean Cut in a 40" model (no wing mowers) and 70" version (like mine with 2 wing mowers).
The larger frame models 40 and 70 use a rotary plow gearbox mounted vertically under the rear end to provide propulsion and steering. They are a true zero turn radius mower (ZTR). Have a low and high speed gearbox, but you have to get off, raise the hood and manually change speeds via a belt and stepped pulley setup. The model 70 has a total of 10 v-belts and the overall design represents the true Rube Goldberg of mowers. Model 70 also uses an Onan 12.5 hp CCK 2 cylinder engine very similar to the engines used in some riders.
I know of 5 Clean Cut 70s in existence. One member has one, another member has two, the Gravely factory has one, and mine. I'm thinking of selling mine if anyone is interested. Had plans to restore it, but those plans are waning and would rather find it a good home with someone that will get it running again.
While the Clean Cuts are perhaps among the most esoteric of Gravelys, it would appear appropriate to add them to the mix if the powers to be deem it appropriate.
