Hello everyone... I have exhausted myself into an evil mood..looking for a few parts to a 1947 Gibson model D tractor that was purchased in 1956 and a workhorse here on the farm for all this time...My late husband had ordered parts from Western American Industries before they closed.. even what I'm looking for.... An over confident 16 yr old took it out and smacked it into a large root (snapping several belts and breaking the COUNTERSHAFT HOUSING part #298 and the SHEAVE BRACKET #303 )..... We are missing a piece and has to be fabricated... by estimate..a small miracle indeed... I'd think it easier to find another Part intact!!!... Anyone out ther know where I can purchase these 2 parts???? sincerely, Judith of Shadybrook Farm...- Thread starter judith

Welcome Judith!
Wish I could help with your Gibson parts, but don't know of any sources. After you have posted a few times you can post pictures. Maybe we can offer some repair options or come up with something.
If you are serious about getting it running, you may end up buying a parts donor tractor. Check Ebay.
There is a Garden Tractor forum below, someone there may can help.

Hello again..thanks for the reply... I do have a form to fill out from the Gibson club.. my late husband ordered this yrs ago and never followed thru with sending it in...he assumed that it wouldn't help him get parts w/o paying a fortune for shipping...he wa s shy about those things... a WW11 vet and didn't use the VA system for benefits... tried once for local check ups... we missed out on a lot of benefits. .. oh well, no one is perfect.. I'm almost perfect still working on it
thanks again.! ..p.s. I looked on ebay with no luck but will keep checking meanwhile may take pieces to weld shop for opinions...
