Restored Graveley Garden Tractor
    Mike Cenkus, St. Clairsville, Ohio: “I recently restored an early 1970’s Graveley 816S garden tractor that had been in storage for more than 21 years.
    “The tractor was completely disassembled and every part was sand blasted and painted before reassembly. The forward and reverse clutches were replaced as well as the bushings and bearings in the front axle and the rear axle hubs. The 16 hp Briggs & Stratton engine was beyond repair. I ended up installing a 20 hp Honda V-twin engine purchased from Northern Tool, which required only minimal modifications. The new engine runs smooth, and the extra horsepower it provides now makes this an exceptional tractor. In fact, it now looks and runs better than new.”
