Gravely 51000 Parts Manual

To start the Gravely 51000 Tractor, ensure the tractor is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO is off. Turn the ignition key to the 'On' position and wait for the glow plug indicator to go off, then turn the key to start the engine.
The Gravely 51000 Tractor typically uses SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F and SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 for temperatures below 32°F. Always check the owner’s manual for specific oil recommendations.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season. More frequent changes may be necessary under heavy usage or extreme conditions.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, inspect the spark plug for wear, and verify that the ignition switch is functioning properly.
Check for clogged air filters, ensure the fuel lines are clear, inspect the spark plug for fouling, and check if the carburetor requires cleaning or adjustment.
The recommended tire pressure for the Gravely 51000 Tractor is typically 15 psi for the front tires and 12 psi for the rear tires. Always refer to the owner’s manual for precise specifications.
Regularly inspect the blades for nicks and dullness. Sharpen the blades as needed using a file or grinder, ensuring they are balanced. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before servicing the blades.
Maintain regular engine tune-ups, keep the air filter clean, ensure the tire pressure is correct, and avoid idling the engine for extended periods to improve fuel efficiency.
If the tractor overheats, stop the engine immediately. Check the coolant level, inspect for debris in the radiator fins, and ensure the fan belt is intact. Allow the engine to cool before further inspection.
To store for winter, clean the tractor thoroughly, add a fuel stabilizer to the tank, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. Keep the tractor in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
