Custom Gravely Mower Deck

[dave]

Another one of my odd ball projects
I got a Gravely pro walk behind mower with a rotted out mower deck
being some what creative and having to many tools and time
I custom made the entire deck out of 3/16" diamond plate

I think your rite Bill
But at least my son will have a tank of a mower
It's a shame when some one like Gravely cheeps out and uses stamped sheet metal for the deck
I don't think the deck will be a problem any more

Holy smoke, nice job. That thing has to be twice as heavy? Sure would like to see it all mounted up.

I'd have to use the engine hoist just to mount it!

 

[dave]

It's actually not as heavy as it looks
The original deck had a 3/8" stiffener plate bolted to it so it only about 30 lbs heavier
And a little extra weight helps offset the hydro drive , battery and the hydro fluid reservoir
it needs to be repainted again after adding the mount brackets and a baffle underneath
It will be on the front burner pretty soon the push mower is getting old !!

That deck would look good on my 1951 farmall

Sorry Jerry Lee : but is Lea :lmao::lmao::lmao: His father was a police dog in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Jerry didn't make the cut, he had a little problem like letting go when told to.
so my wife got him for me, he has been retrained and a good dog.
