We had one as a working tractor on our farm. Was a great tractor. We had most of the attachments that went with it. Was a great tractor ahead of it's time. When I grew up I would take the kids for rides in it. Sometimes we went on adventures in it towing a cart.

my family had one when i was young. no fenders, don't believe they were a stock item. had single bottom plow, cultivater, and back blade. pulled wagons and skidded logs with it. the adjustable height draw bar was helpful. my brother put a v-4 wisconsin from a bailer on it. more power than you really need but looked and sounded great. thanks for sharing. brings back good memories.

Not losing the starter rope is very important. If you were out in the field without one and lucky enough to be wearing a belt, that became your starter rope. Your pants might be around your ankles but at least you got it started.

A Gibson was the 1st vehicle I ever learned to drive. When I was 8, my dad would attach the disc to the back and it was my job to run over the nettles in the woods. A great way to learn to drive with tiller steering and backing up with a disc attached. After that, most everything else was a piece of cake.

I've run a home built copy of this design. It was a neat little tractor, had a four speed and a three speed auxiliary transmission, the tiller steering takes some getting used to, but becomes easy pretty quick.

In the 50's and 60's our local John Deere dearer in Jerseyville, Illinois had one of these as a shop mule they used to move tractors and equipment in the shop and yard. That one also was equipped with a front blade. It did not have fenders as I recall and had been repainted John Deere green and yellow.

@gjpercy Жыл бұрын
I know this is a year old, but I think I can answer. We had one of these during the late 60s and 70s in Melbourne, Australia. It was a fun machine to use. At 5:10 that looks like first or maybe second gear. It really flew along in 3rd gear and you could pull the tiller hard (to turn right) and at the same time tramp the right-hand brake pedal and it would turn on a dime. The tiller steering was entirely intuitive. The rear tires on ours were water filled and it could do some proper work. We had a single blade plough similar to this.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apK0fIuPn9Wnd9Usi=ZhkweSPRBEA7Samm And a disk plough with 3 or 4 blades which was not so effective. We also had a rear mounted grader blade which we used a lot. I remember using the heel of my left foot to pull the clutch pedal toward me to increase drive belt traction. cheers..

"Herd" is a large group of animals, especially hoofed mammals. "Heard" is to perceive with the ear the sound made by (someone or something) "Alot" is a town in India. "Allot" is to apportion something. "A lot" is more than one of something, multiples of something. So, are you talking about a large "herd" of animals in Alot, India? Perhaps elephants? 🙄🙄
