[not for sale sorry]

OK so i bought a gravely 625 Lr pro chip quite awhile ago from an arbtalk member for £800, it was in a bit of a sorrow state hence the price,i had never worked on a chipper before so i learnt allot while doing this. It needed welding a new bit of angle iron on, and loads of stress cracks welding back up, the reason these had started was because the cutter wheel was out of balance from were some one had welded the spades back on the wheel were there had been damage before. i had to buy a new wheel at the cost of £600 that's the bit that hurt the pocket, while i had the chipper apart a gave it a new paint job to the company color of blue. serviced the engine and then put it back together, without my labour of every Sunday put into it, it came to a grand total of about £2000 witch i did not think was bad, as you could not buy a 6" chipper these days in good nick for less than £4000 really, loads of pics to come enjoy!
