55rj35jr 623 #1 Posted November 23, 2013 Picked this GEMCO BIG BOY Garden tractor up this summer just got it cleaned up & a good friend Del got it running again, drove it around the yard what a awesome feeling getting this old stuff back to life again! I will be leaving it as is in its original skin. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #6 Posted November 23, 2013 I love how crude and basic the manufacturing was on this old stuff. If you do a search for Gemco... one of our other members has had one in the past. Looks like you nabbed a nice one. Thanks for sharing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #11 Posted November 24, 2013 Very nice. Yes, the "old iron" was so simple 40+ years ago, yet so tough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 479 #13 Posted December 2, 2013 I had one almost identical to yours for several years. I just sold it this past June. Very cool machines. Just be careful on a downhill or if you need to stop quick - no brakes. Also they are a pain to move around unless they are running because of the chain drive. Looks to be in great shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russtiron 41 #14 Posted January 12, 2014 Nice original tractor ,really like stuff with original paint.You can probably date the tractor through the engine serial number looks like a 8 or 9 series engine?Front wheels look similar to early rj`s Chuck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eb in oregon 28 #15 Posted January 12, 2014 maby a clear coat you could put on it "Original" condition "Rat Rods" have gathered a rather large following these last few years. The look like crap, (a good number have kept the "original" bullet holes in the sheet metal) but are mechanically excellent. This could be a plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
