I have a 2002 Grasshopper with about 1200 hours on it. I had to replace a
seal in the engine to fix an oil leak and I had to replace a broken cam
ring in one of the Hydro units. Tha't about it.Overall the thing just
keeps going. Gravely is about a half a step down from Grasshopper in my
view, but I would think it would be worth keeping it. My only concern
would be parts availability. As long as you can still get parts and do
most of the work yourself, it is probably a good investment to keep it
going.
