Back when I had money and a [teeny] bit of land I owned a Gravely walk-behind
with a 42 inch deck. Never a hiccough, all lube points readily identifiable,
easy to drive and maintain.
Only problem I ever had was when I caught a black walnut between the blade and
a
guard on the underside of the deck. Bent the guard substantially and the blade
a little. Flame cut some stock to make a new guard, beat the blade back into
shape and watched _very_ closely for those walnuts and all was well.
