953 nut 61,066 #3 Posted September 5 Haban made a variety of sickle bar mowers for garden tractors. Looks like that would have been used on one with the crankshaft running front to rear like a IHCC. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,609 #4 Posted September 5 GIL is likely Gilson. I have a tiller made by them for the first model Simplicity offered for their two wheel tractors in 1954. Gilson, Simplicity and AC had a relationship. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,542 #5 Posted September 5 (edited) Very similar to Haban ! Not sure who supplied Gilson or Simplicity but the tube frame to front was used by multiple Haban sickle mowers. Haban was a step up in quality from the Wheel Horse side sickles. https://www.gardentractortalk.com/threads/found-two-sickle-bars-this-week.67462/#lg=thread-67462&slide=4 ok Garden Talk shows this one as Gilson made by Haban!

Haban supplied Allis. I got a hold of a pile of Allis stuff last year and I sold the sickle to the Flip Flop Kid. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
