gibson

rdbrumfield · Apr 14, 2003

I was vacationing in California last week and was offered a gibson with blade, harrow, disc and plow. It needs a rear end replacement. If anyone knows of one please send me a note. At this time I don't know whitch one it has. I know they made a couple of different models.

Cool! I looked it up in "Illustrated History of the American Farm Tractor".

The model they show is a 1948 Model-E. It has a Wisconsin inline 2-cylinder, 53.9ci engine with 12.6hp@2000rpm. A Bendix 0.75" carb and Fairbanks-Morse FMJ magneto.

The pictured one is smallish, like between a Farmall Cub and "A". They say 72" tall to the top of the muffler, 72" wide, and 96" long and about 1900lbs. The 3spd tranny gets it to 7mph. Apparently they were made in Longmont Colorado.

check YTmag.com for parts and classifieds

Pictures of Gibson tractors

http://www.tractorshed.com/cgi-bin/gallery/photo_view.cgi had some various pictures of Gibsons.

I did a search on Gibson. There are about 10 pictures. I tried to link them to here, but the link was sooooo long with the search parameters in it...
