The Gravely 8128 is a garden tractor model produced in 1980, designed for residential landscaping and property maintenance tasks. It is part of the broader Gravely 8000 series, known for its mechanical simplicity and shaft-driven drivetrain architecture.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a Kohler K301 gasoline engine, a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a horizontal shaft. It delivers 12 horsepower (8.9 kW) from a displacement of 476 cc. The engine utilizes an electric starter powered by a 12-volt electrical system with a 42 Ah battery, ensuring reliable ignition.
Transmission and PTO
The drivetrain features a shaft-driven gear transmission, providing 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds. The system uses a dual-range configuration with forward and reverse clutches, requiring the directional clutch to be in neutral for gear or range shifting.
