picked up a couple oddballs

Recommended Posts

Jake Kuhn

Hi guys,

Just brought home a couple of oddball tractors. First is a burns. I do not know much about this tractor, I'm thinking it was made in the early 60's and there is a tag on it that says it was made in georgia. The other tractor is a jacobsen javelin 26. This is a very neat tractor and it has a clinton b1290 in it. Here are some pictures. ~Jake

Don't know what the first one is, but it's looks to be well built.

The clinton is not going to be for sale, sorry. Its the same as what the 58's used on them and if we don't keep the tractor together which we probably will, its going to go on one of them.

got the burns to run tonight. needs the carb rebuilt and the trans is a little noisy, but other than that its a really nice tractor. ~Jake

They look pretty cool. Depends on the owner but they could be called madball instead of oddball. :hide:

Probably the only reason a few of 'em still survive. :ychain:

Hey Jake, You should paint "Lil Jake" on the Jake. Take off the deck . Then fire it up and hold the governor open. I'd bet that thing would fly!!

I agree that the green one is a Gilson.  I saw one just like it yesterday, repainted yellow.   The old ones were built like tanks, and I don't know why they're not more collectible.

Burns were built by gilson I believe. I have seen two or three others badged as burns. Mine has the original serial tag and if you look the decals have been painted over but say burns.

Hey Jake; That Jacobsen looks like a Hovearound :ychain: But yours has 4 wheels  :) Both tractors going to be your summer projects? I would paint one Blueberry   :twocents-02cents:  Keep up the good work and have fun Dale

VERY INTERESTING projects, like the front axle on green one, the other one would make an excellent runabout, hesitated toooo looong on one couple of weeks back at scrap yard and it got eaten by metal munching monster. Learned another lesson.

 

My first thought was green one was a Sears Suburban, which are usually blue and white, but guessed wrong, huh!
