Wow, that's is neat. That would make the OSHA folks have a nervous breakdown.
Thanks for sharing!

Did someone mention OSHA??
OK, its not steam powered, but 100% OEM Gravely. 1974 unit, with original low RPM 7.6hp "T" head engine that will run you up a tree. Saw blade is '60s OEM (the later ones had a guard, LOL).

I should find a vid of my Gravely with the "Dog Eater" snow blower on it.

Dangerous? Scary? ... Nah ... you just need to have respect for them.
Not sure if the video will work. I use this to bust up and push back snowbanks when needed.

My brother had one of those old gravelys with a rototiller on it and was trying to till up his garden that was clay soil. It kept trying to get away from him it was more like RODEOTILLING.
