[old dozer]

looking for some info on my old two wheel tractor. Can anyone out there help. Runs great and has lots of power.

Please post a front and a rear picture. I'm wondering if this is a homemade unit that someone has made out of something else or it is factory made. I haven't seen one quite like it.

will try and get more pictures thanks

here are more pictures. The Briggs is a NR6 guess it is from the 40's but still runs good. Thanks for all the help so far, old dozer

I'm not positive but I would say Gillson. The plow itself looks homemade.

Yes the blade looks home made here are the rest of the things that came with the two wheeler

I can't help with the ID but your pics sure brought back memories. My Dad had two of these commercially built garden tractors. He and I used them in our garden for years when I was a kid. I remember ours being yellow in color not orange but Dad may have painted them at some point. The handle slid the entire motor forward to tighten the drive belt. Kind of a precursor to Gravely tractors. The Briggs NR6 was used on a variety of tractors from 1940-54. Simplicity, Speedex, Bolens, and Farm-ette are a few tractors I recall.

Thanks to all went to smokstak and got the answer with more info. It is a Gardenaid tractor made in New York. The briggs was made in March of 1945

Don't think it would be a precursor to a Gravely. Gravely built their first 2-wheeler in 1935. Single wheel units they built from 1922 to into the 50s. I have a 1925 model.
