Stu Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Bad.ass. I've always wanted a Gravely after watching an old neighbour cut his lawns with one when I was a kid. If it didn't start in 3 pulls it was time to put the kettle on and come back later for another go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm quite chuffed to have two. Will definitely restore them. Wasn't sure if it would be easy to get bits when we uncovered the first one but there is heaps of info and support out there. Found a club too... http://www.gravelytractorclub.org Going by the serial number that red one is 1938. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I love it. Barely explored it yet so hoping to find something hidden in gully..like a plane, a bunker..or a space saucer. Found evidence that a long time back someone must have been growing tomatoes in the most awkward of areas.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yoeddynz Posted August 12, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2014 Bit of an update. After having a weekend off from gorse clearing due to Viva engine swaps etc we spent last weekend out there and got heaps done. But before I talk about that I will first mention what we had been up to in previous weekends. One major thing happened- this appeared... Its 25,000 litres and its bloody big- about 4m diameter by 3m high. Luckily our friendly neighbour who has been doing all the digger work for us made a nice big pad for it to sit on and then move it for us. Otherwise it would have stressed my wheelbarrow to within its meagre limits. While he was about he dug a trench for the future shed storm water pipe. It would have taken me ages. I like these digger things! Plus he skimmed all the muck off the stone based driveway. Hopefully soon we will get fresh stone down on the whole driveway making it supercar friendly. Next thing we got hooked into was removing this bloody ugly pine tree. It blocks the early summer sun and just looks horrid. I only wanted to chop below the height of the hedge but keep it alive. I love climbing trees, like seriously if I can get to a bottom branch I'm up there. But chainsawing up high I was a bit sketchy on. But funtimes anyway. We borrowed my tree felling friends signage and cones and pretended to be all official and all that. We even stopped some traffic (not that we have much traffic...) So tree got chopped... ...and then the lesser branches got turned into smoke (which brother Duncan enjoyed because he's a pyro) .... On the Sat night we sat on the ridge with Kevin and some beer (but not for Kevin because cats cant be trusted when drunk) and watched the sunset. In the evenings we fitted lights like this... ($5 for several actual Italian made lights- thanks recycling centre. Although being Italian means they will most likely fail) Or watched the evening sky... and I fitted an inverter so we now have 240 volts. Note my amazing wiring. I tried to shape some mouse ears... We also went bush bashing and did some exploring. My brother found an old benched track from about 40 years ago down at the south end of the block. Great mtb track potential! It heads up from the gully floor to another ridge then disappears. Duncan will continue clearing it back in the future. While walking about we made it to the base of one of the large pines on another ridge. Bloody huge things. I aint cutting these buggers down in a hurry.. Whats that there???... Oh its the other side of this gully! Wow- that will be where a main track to the ridge will climb up through them tree ferns then. So back to the weekend just gone. Lots of clearing of gorse and blackberry (there is a theme going on here...) and creating of more space while freeing natives. As always so very satisfying. I think part of the reason is because while it is very hard, back breaking work its also not at all taxing on the mind. Just drink coffee, whiskey, beer or whatever, turn up the ipod and hack away. All good harmless fun and at the end of the day we get to sit around a big fire and drink more beer. This weekend had an awesomely massive moon too which just added to the occasion. Next morning we get to see a whole new play area of grass. Over the next two or three years we will just poison these areas each spring with Tordon which wont affect the grass. This will stop the cycle of gorse coming back. I can mow some of these areas for lawn bowls. So before... Then after (Monday mornings effort here)... Next weekend we want to finish off this area and then its some big trees due to come down. I will be trading skills.. I will build my friend a inlet manifold for his 1940 dodge army truck and he will chop down trees. We are hoping to be applying for consent on a 15x7.65 double story shed soon. Will be interesting to see what bollocks the council come up with... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Pics of the 1940 truck please?My dad has a 46 dodge truck. But it's in Marlborough, and he has to build a transporter big enough to bring it down. (There are no car trailers in CHCH for rent that are long enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 I think it's in the background of the viva engine swap. I'll look.... edit; here... upload pictures free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
