Awesome grouping Larry. I like that 816 with the roof, gives it a mean look.

The 816s does most of the snow removal I will see how the 20G does it seems to be running nice looking for a plow for it...

Mabey you could find a blade that can be adapted to fit the 20G

Larry,

Hows the old 220 running? It sure looks to be in nice shape. I'm hoping to get a 400 or 800 series Gravely rider sometime in the near future. I've seen several listed on Craigslist within a couple hrs away from me, but I'm just waiting for the right one to come along. I of course will only settle on one with a Kohler, but can you tell me what does the S stand for after 816? I've seen just plain 816 models too and I'm not exactly sure what the difference is.

Evan the 816s the s stands for single cylinder briggs And I would like a few more of thm it is a much better engine than the Kohler in my opinion. the newer ones are 8000 series have a B at the end like a 8123B would be the briggs version.

Thanks for clearing that up Larry. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the regular 816 must have the twin Onan in it??? I don't have anything against a Briggs engine (except for the one in Casey's Gilson when it decided not to start on my visit), but I guess I'm just more familiar with the Kohler's.

It is the same engine as in the Gilson, and I wouldn't get another 16 hp Briggs single unless it has compression release and a starter generator, so it looks like I am not getting another 16 hp briggs single.

Evan you are right they are good machines with any engine in it and with proper maintenance the briggs will start in any weather first try. And I don't have compression release on it or a starter generator!!!!!

Larry, it's a preference hobby and I currently prefer the ones in my group that start and run. The Gilson has been fighting me ever since I bought it and I prefer not to buy anything that has a chance of being a pita like the Gilson. I am sure that you have certain machines you have sworn you would never buy another one of or similar to it.
