This is my first time snow blowing with this tractor. It runs well at first but it stalled out toward the end. It's not taking much load and I'll have to look into it. I really need some chains on the tires!

    A real machine ! Once you get past about 1982 , residential machines start to change the way they were rated from cinstant duty HP to Peak Duty HP . That's why you will find that a 7 horsepower in this generation will outperform a 10 or 11 horsepower made in the last 20 years . Side note : sounds like your Governor is just slightly out of adjustment ..... when you got into the deep snow the governor didn't compensate for the load all of a sudden on the engine . Still runs great though

    Nice! You may find the air filter is iced up. I have fashioned an old plastic bottle into a cover for the air filter to keep blowing snow out. Thanks for sharing the video.

    Your Gravely runs very good Sir. I enjoyed the video. It sounded like it had a fuel starvation problem at the end 👍

    My brother has two of them, one with the Studebaker engine and one with a Kohler. Great machine, but two of worst engines ever, for the average homeowner. I'd put a HF engine on it, these Gravely's go for nothing around here. When it was running, it was fantastic. Thanks for sharing 👍🤞
