Gilson Identification

[bowhunt4life]

I picked up a Gilson minibike today that is the spitting image of an Allis Chalmers Trail bike. I am missing the kick stand but am trying to figure out what model Gilson I have.

I'll try to post some pics but any help would be appreciated.

Andy here. I managed to find these two ads from Google. I hope they help. Looks like the 10" version was model 54703. Was made in both 71 and 72

Same bike simply badged by the manufacturer rather than the tractor company. Nice score just the same, the A/C is a moon rock anyway or at least priced as if it were carried back from the moon in the capsule.

Yeah that pic is in the seller's garage. He has some others he is working on.

He has A LOT of Gilsons, including a pair of complete Ward 424 bikes.

Anyone know the length of the kickstand I need?

Pardeeville WI?

Mark G yep I live in Pardeeville, WI. I am an Allis Chalmers garden tractor nut. A friend of mine found an old AC Mini Bike and I've been searching for a while now. Closest I could find so far was my Gilson.

ask the seller if there is a series of numbers stamped on the kickstand shown in the that photo. the fat foot ones are usually cecor 12xxx, I have 2 diferent sizes of those here....the shorter I have listed on ebay right now. And if he has it off ask if it it has a humped or flat plate hinge, IIRC Gilson used humped hinges but its been awhile since I had one in the shop.

Looks like it is the Cecor 12501 Markus.

I had a buddy of mine that has an Allis version of my Gilson to look at his kickstand. His stand is stamped Cecor 12401
