I have a Gravely L from c.1955 in my shop right now. They are well made machines and one of my favorites! Your Gravely was made in 1966; the official model is a C 7.6.

Old old L's (like mine) did not come with governors. They were an added cost option, but a bit nice when you have to do some work. They are a bit hard to find today reasonably; those who have them keep them just because they make your life that much better while in use!

Pierce governors aren't too bad to work with if you are familiar with centrifugal governors.

Check all your springs and connections to make sure they are working as they are a bit tricky to get correct, like all linkages, if you are not familiar with them. I had an early L retrofitted with a Pierce that had binding linkages. This PDF is very helpful in this area:

As John mentions in the PDF, probably the weights are a little tight if it runs like an airplane.

Gene Gull rebuilds them, as well as Rick Mathis of the Gravely Shop: http://www.gravelyshop.com/

Today's Featured Article - Sunday Drives - by Cowboy. Summer was finally upon us here in Northern Maine. We have two types of industry up here, one being "Forestry" (Wood Products) and the other "Farming" (Potatoes). There is no shortage of farm tractors and equipment around here! I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
