odd tractor

Postby Clint Carter » Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:38 pm

Came across this tractor today and have never seen one like this. Can anyone tell me what it is and what you think it is worth in your eyes? It runs and has new rear tires but no brakes at all.

Possibly a Gibson with a hood from something else stuck on it?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

If it is a Gibson as BD suggested, the rear finals should have Gibson Longmont,CO Seattle, WA cast in them in raised letters.

Looks similiar to a Gibson model D pictured in "Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors". If it is a Gibson model D it originally had a Wisconsin model AEH engine.

Also check the rear tire size, they probably fit a Cub rim.

I agree with the others, much of it looks like a Gibson with some additions.

What's it worth? I do not have a clue. If it's like most of my working antique tractors, I have more money in them then I could sell them for.

If the tires and rims fit a Cub and in good shape, they are probably worth more than the entire machine.

What is the current owner asking for the machine? And are there any attachments?

As a rule Gibson's are collectable and if in reasonable (restorable) condition would have a good value. The fiberglas hood indicates that some serious field modifications may have been done but hopefully nothing that can't be undone. If the original engine is there (and it appears to be) you would have a good candidate there.

Gibson plows were pretty crude and looked homemade, so the plow could be factory.
