Here is a picture of most of the fleet.


What is missing in the picture is another 5665, a Pro16, and a 5660.

I use the mower the most, but also have a snow blower, plow, and rear mounted tiller. My dad bought it new before I was born and I absolutely love that tractor. It's had a hard life and I'm hoping to find the resources I need to get it back into good condition. I also just recently bought my very own Gravely, a 1980 8125 tractor with an Onan 16HP 2 cylinder engine and it came with a 50" mower. It also has a hydraulic implement lift so I think I'll put the snow blower on it this winter.
I'm so embarrassed, my tractor is an 8163, my mistake. Anybody got info on the charging system for these tractors? Mine is no longer charging the battery, it runs perfectly, starts no problem, but I have to get it back on the charger when I'm done using it.

I haven't had a problem with my 8163t charging yet but you can to oldgravelys.net and you can look at the wiring diagram too see if it is wired right.

so after finding out I need a new ignition switch, nobody seems to recognize 8163-T as a real model number. What does the T indicate in the model number?

According to Gravely, the 8163T (t=Onan Twin) was made in 1979 and 1980.

My 818T was made only one year, 1978.

http://oldgravelys.net/pdf/Cust_Serv_Update_88_89_1188.pdf

The switch you likely need is a Stens 430-249 It crosses over to:


ARIENS 03115200
GRAVELY 019223
JACOBSEN 129746
JACOBSEN 129846
JOHN DEERE AM103286
JOHN DEERE AM32318
NATIONAL 1A808B
TORO 12-8140

it has a pinout that looks like this:



Terminal letters are decoded as follows:

B - Battery
A - Accessory
R - Regulator
S - Starter Solenoid
M - Magneto
I - Ignition

I have a 1975 812. My Church bought a newer John Deere and didn't need the Gravely any longer. She was in rough condition when I received it. I pulled the tires, sanded the wheels, primed and painted. I purchased a new Michigan seat from Northern tool. I had to free up the starter bendix and purchase the pto side of the mower deck drive shaft. That's been basically it with the exception of I just rebuilt the starter at the beginning of February. This is my first Gravely and I have to say, it has been the best tractor I've ever owned... Can't wait to aquire a second.... I have always wanted a Gravely and when I found that our Church was getting rid of it, I promptly jumped on it. I still need to do a repaint however, here she is...

I have and 812 just like this that I would like to sell to someone who could restore to this condition and savor. It runs everytime I start it. We have too much area to mow efficiently with it though.

Located in Grand Rapids, MI
