is it still working? Im planning on buying one soon.

Nice!!! Glad to see that thing running again I’m sure it will pur in no time. Glad it’s still hanging around. We got to hang on to those. I know they mean as much to me as they do to you except you got more memories of em. Great job. Proud of you!!!

Use a Tri-pod for disassembly and reassembly and do a montage of it with breaks for explaination of the more complicated aspects(vid recs )

Looking forward to the Gibson. Great series.

Lots of projects for sure!

That’s an early model A

Looks Awesome

FYI I'm pretty sure that you've got yourself a 2N not an 8N

Thank you for putting together this mini series, just purchased a JD 260 yesterday and will be fixing it up a bit over the next few weeks, thanks for sharing your knowledge and process with the rest of us!

Okay cool, so I’m not the only one who has projects that end up being 10 times harder than I thought they would be when I started 😀👍

Oh boy the 260. I had a couple issues with the older ford tractor I had gotten from grandpa. Wound up being dirt magnito and flywheel coupled with a loose wire on said magnito. Was able to get spark back…then the air-fuel ratio adjustment needle whatever broke and that was that. Never could actually get it running properly it’s a shame but I hope ur able to get that electron delivery issue sorted.

I like Benchmark products. They are my go to for abrasives. Those type 1 cutting wheels wear like iron. I'm betting B.S.C. stands for Bethlehem Steel Corporation.

What model is yours? I have a D and my transmission is different in that when you remove the shifter off the top the forks come with it unlike you tranny set up.

Antique Power Magazine published an article years back about two guys restoring a Gibson model A. They opted to use all new 5/8" stainless nuts and bolts. It turned out beautiful.

Just got one thank you for this video

When my son overhauled his Gibson, he found a NOS magneto on Amazon.... paid a lot for it, but motor fired right ip.

My son resurrected a 46 Gibson that had been yard art for many years. Overhauled the motor, new ties, fre3d up the differential and tranny . Sold it recently

Nice! But why did the fuel leak into the oil?

I hate Gibson tractors. They are very uncomfortable to operate. I have one I installed a 16hp kohler engine and thought I would like it but it really does suck. I think I’m going to crush it and scrap it. That’s how much I hate it.

I remember taking mine apart. It was a real bugger!

Nice work so far Robert. I rebuilt that exact GM transmission 4 years ago on my Gibson model A. The one suggestion I can offer is clean and inspect the transmission case closely. They are notorious for water running down the shift tower and freezing in the case splitting it. I had a lot of brazing work to do on mine because of that.

Hi Robert, Having worked my entire life in the gas industry I can assure you all that refilling gas containers by decanting poses serious risks to untrained operators. Liquid LPG will expand around 270 times into LP gas which is heavier than air and will collect on the floor and low areas. Any small liquid leak releases 270 times more gas volume resulting in large amounts of energy that if ignited may result in a powerful explosion. Liquid LPG has a boiling point of -43C and any contact with the skin will result in a freeze burn as the liquid LP vaporizes into LP gas. Cylinders and containers must be checked to ensure they are in good condition, designed to be refilled and where applicable are within the test period. Minimum safety requirements require the operator to wear gloves and a face mask and most importantly decanting should only be performed away from any potential sources of ignition and outside in an open air where any potential leak can safely disperse. People will fill their own cylinders, so please let's see a video that shows decanting done properly with the hazard and risks fully explained.

nice! iv always wanting to get my hands on a gibson or gardenall tractor

Nice!

Your rear end is original. In the early years, Gibson used GM or Chrysler 3 speed transmissions and cut down Plymouth rear ends; all from junk yards. That dates your Gibson closer to 1946. Later Gibsons used an in house built rear end with Seattle Wa, and Longmont Colorado cast into the top of the axle housings, and a Borg Warner 3 speed transmission.

New sub here. I'm an old Gibson guy from waaaay back. Looking forward to watching the entire playlist on the project. I stopped buying the WD-40 aerosol cans for the same reason. I use a 1 gallon bulk can and a refillable spray bottle now. For penetrants, I use Liquid Wrench, or Freeall. Both work well. I like Aero Kroil but it's way too expensive.

Looks nice!!! Good Job!!
