FLtractor 124 #1 Posted 8 hours ago Morning, Came across this on marketplace.. seller about 50 miles round trip.. asking $10.00. Said he’s sat on seat and it’s not rusted through but will need 2 new 4.80/4.00-8 tires. Had idea of once I get my 856 driving running again. Would it be a safe or good idea to fix this up, paint it to match 856 and have someone ride on it behind possibly with a tongue extension between the tractor hitch and sulky? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a Gravely sulky If I drive extra careful slow and on flat ground… could I put the sulky behind a metal yard wagon that weighs a couple hundreds pounds of steel. Big huge turf saver tires. Welded hitch holes for pins on each end and handle on one that pivots the front wheels.. it was a roofing cart used to move materials on buildings.. I could put tractor- roofing cart- sulky. Thinking along the lines of having someone help me do yard work, load cart, and just be able to hop off the sulky similar to hangin on back of recycle truck ect Edited 6 hours ago by FLtractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recommendation on what tires I should put on? Such those ones that never go flat Edited 5 hours ago by FLtractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 55,472 #6 Posted 5 hours ago 15 minutes ago, FLtractor said: on what tires I should put on? Any 4/4.8-8 tires. Wheelbarrow tires you want to keep the cost down. Be sure to tube them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to see about getting one of those seat cover online that fits and looks the same colors 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 11,459 #8 Posted 5 hours ago If it were "The Mother-in-Law" seat, the tongue would have been about 4X longer... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
