Oh My God, This is my grandpa's old Gibson tractor that after he got older, I use to plow his/our vineyard in Monta Vista, California also known now as Cupertino. I loved this tractor so much and he had it rigged up to where you could crank start it as well as the rope on front. And being a boiler maker/pipe fitter in the San Francisco rail yards, he eliminated the muffler and had a straight pipe with a 90* elbow pointing up. I use to clean up and emaculate our vineyard with this baby needing very little attention. The belt clutch, the steering stick, and I would raise and lower the rakes on the back. The best small tractor ever made. I miss it and am trying to locate my uncle Jim Dyer in Cupertino, California to see if I can get it back. P.S. With his Yugoslavian accent, he use to call it the "Littlee Gypson", "Gibson". The Wisconsin air cooled engines were the work horse, and I believe the three speed trans and rear end were Ford. God Bless my grandfather, Frank Mikulaco. Thank you for you video, Paul Mikul 808 959-3057
This puts me in mind of what my Dad may have been replicating on a smaller hydraulic equipped home build(Dad's has a steering wheel). 9hp Briggs, w/automotive components ... (exception fabric shoe snap clutch)3spd. GM top-loader, PS pump, 2hard lines/quick couplers to front & back, '57 Plymouth diff. cut, welded/annealed, 15" implement lug(full of Ca/H20) , I need to bring brakes to function(refurbish/add individual brake cylinders) and decrease steering radius. Dead simple ... Top speed? 14 MPH
Hi have the same tractor I’m trying to get the gear back into neutral, can you help with any ideas. Used to be my wife’s grandpa’s tractor. I would like to refurbish it for our grandchildren for the future.
How about my name is Joaquín from Uruguay, I am trying to restore a 1947-48 Gibson Wisconsin tractor, I would like to know if you can give me information to obtain or adapt a carburetor for this tractor. Greetings and thank you very much for your attention

You could try removing the transmission cover and see if the shifting fork is aligned properly. Don’t be afraid it is fairly obvious.
