Anyone have any idea what year this lawn mower would be? I also cannot find this mower anywhere else online. I am wondering what you think that going cost for something like this would be. I know if does need all new belts under the deck.

I can't even tell the make of this mower from the pictures. It also doesn't look like it is in that good of condition. I personally would never consider buying that mower, just too old and looks like more work than anything else. But IF I were to buy this I wouldn't spend more than a few hundred bucks, but that would be if it ran/operated fine.

The pics are terrible but I did make out that the gas tank says gravely on it. The machine looks like a total pos. If you want an age I would need more pics such as the engine and under the seat. By looking at the hydro set up and the engine I can usually fiqure out an approx. age.

I am thinking older. Like an early 90's model. If it does not run and it has alot of use then dont fix it. If it runs and has low use then you could probably get some use out of it. I just would not want to put money into an old machine.

Yes, it is a very old Gravely. Get the serial number off of it and call the Ariens/Gravely factory. They can tell you exactly what you have there.
Might be a fun restoration project, but would not want to try to use that thing on a daily basis.

Frankly if you pull the mower out and find it was lightly used -change the oil, put new gas in it mixed with seafoam, and clean it up you might be able to make money with it. Dont let others discourage you. From the photos you posted there is no real way to tell if the mower is decent or not.

Hey that is a Gravely Pro Master 50 looks like something early 90's before 95.... Good cutting mower I ran one for 8 years. It probably has the Kohler Command on it. The pump that lifts the deck is a bilge pump from a boat. Just watch getting that pump wet though I had to have ours rebuilt more than once. Make sure you run good/new blades on it. It is the old style deck before the high flow ones so it clumps really bad. Not something to mow high grass with... but cuts very nice when you keep up with the turf every 4 days or when it is dry. Keep extra belts on hand... mainly the bigger one that comes from the motor all the way to the front... and watch the tension on it. It is not a self adjuster so.... you will lose belts. Good luck... personally I liked the mower it was compact and cuts nice.

Yeah im talking with my grandfather about it. He thinks i should just save more and get a newer but used ztr so that i dont have to keep dumping money into this one, but i cant afford too much right now over 3000.00 as i am paying for college. If anyone knows of any zero turns around in macomb or detroit area in michigan let me know as i am interested if i do not pursue this mower
