That’s a neat trailer …. Looks like sides fold down?

 

Old engine out and chassis power washed.

 

Dropping in new engine.

 

New motor is all bolted in and all guards are in place. Only thing left is wiring. Different connectors on the engines. I'll switch them tomorrow.

Ill get pics of the final product later.

 

Yes, both sides, the front, and the tailgate all fold down. Bought it from homedepot a few months ago and it’s a decent trailer.

Edit: however there are no tie down points, I’ve been using soft shackles around the rails for tie downs. I’m about to add tie down points, I’m just waiting until I have the time and hardware to do it

 

Have you looked at “Best Choice Trailers” in Carlisle PA? I know they carry them.

 

Have not… but will look into it, thank you

 

Predator fits like it grew there.

 

Nice work

 

Son approves of the gravely.

 

How much is a new oem motor?

 

Kohler command motors are pretty spendy.

Around $1800.

2x as much as the predator.

Unfortunately, the predators are getting hard to find around here.

 

Any clue why my Gravely parking brake EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE jams in a semi locked position? Won't go up and lock, won't go down and release.......if it happened all the time I could figure it out perhaps, but happens maybe once per hour.

Happens on slopes, when I stop and get off to move something type of thing.

 

which model do you have??

 

ZT-XL 52 with Kawasaki v-twin

 

Dodge guy: "I'm not paying to have that topsoil delivered, my buddy has a trailer."

That got expensive fast.

That doesn’t look like that much except for when the tractor loads soil in

 

This for sure, I went thru the same thing but in my Honda push, good spark, fuel, pull and check and clean carb, put plug back in, cuss, yank, mutter under breath, pull some more, think about tossing ratchet across yard, wondering what caliber I'd need to do a really good job reducing it to fragments, finally decided, what the heck, even though the plug is not very old and has decent spark, I'll toss in a new one. One pull.................one bleeping pull..........Varoooooom!

Never overlook the simple stupidly easy stuff.

 

Had one in a snowblower last week…. Factory Chinese plug…. Glad I caught this one fast….
