Last week we had a 75-foot Norway Spruce taken down. The tree company shredded the limbs, but filled their truck before they were done. They asked if they could dump the mulch nearby so I had them dump the load just past my vineyard. The stuff was starting to kill the grass under it and I'm only days away from starting to mow. So, I put my little front end loader on the 20G Gravely tractor and started hauling it.
It's truly a Studebaker. See the oil leak?
Actually, it has some Studebaker parts on it. The oil light sender was leaking oil badly and I found that a NOS '59-'61 Lark sender fit right in. Also, it was leaking at the pan plug so I went down to my Studebaker parts depot and got one of the 19 NOS Studebaker plug gaskets I had- perfect fit, no leak.
If that isn't enough Studebaker content this 1990 Gravely has two older brothers in the garage, a 1962 Model L (two wheeler) that says Gravely, Division of Studebaker-Packard, and a 1972 Model 430 (four-wheeler) that says Division of Studebaker right on the console. Its engine is an Onan which also says Division of Studebaker.
