gilson

This was on my Gilson when I got it. It's original to the bike, but the edges that would have held the lens on have been mostly chipped away. I don't have the lens for it. Free to a good home. Just pay shipping.

I need one wheel for a Gilson wheel. Both halves need to be in good condition. I don't need the bearings but will take them. Below is a picture of one. Shipping would be to Hanover, PA 17331.

Hello, New here and just finished a Montgomery Ward 525 swing arm mini bike in Brittany Blue. As luck would have it I just found another identical complete chassis and fork assembly for $45 at a swap meet. However, it was missing the hard to find oil impregnated, flanged bronze...

I picked up this roller that I'm going to use for my first vintage bike. It will be a bit of a restomod. Based on the red-orange paint that is under the turquoise everywhere, it was likely originally branded as a Gilson. My plans are to build it in the spirit of a Montgomery Wards 525 because I...

My last Gilson tail light. I haven't been able to locate any more of these -- so I think my supply is dried up. This one is in really good condition. The body is a little discolored, but not chipped. Lights are both there and seem to be working correctly. The lens is probably the best...

I need some suggestions on how to put a rear brake on this. Other than the cable adjuster there is nothing back there. Running out of tennis shoes.

Picked this up for almost nothing. Briggs 4 horse in sad shape. Off to Harbor Freight, picked up a 6.5 horse Predator. Pulled the Briggs, off to the car wash for de-lousing. Motor went right in, clutch slid right on. Hook up the throttle, oil & gas, started on the first pull. Smooth, quiet and...

Just picked up this bike this morning. What you see is what I got. I know it's made by Gilson but is there any way to tell if it's a Gilson/Montgomery Ward/Allis Chalmers? I don't have the engine and I can't find a serial number on the frame anywhere. The orange-red paint would lead me to...

I know they don't pop up often, but $400? Really? It is in pretty nice shape though. I wish the decals on mine were in that good of shape. Gilson Vintage Minibike Montgomery Wards Allis Chalmers Scooter Cycle Kart | eBay

I've been searching for an exhaust for my Gilson. I can't find one anywhere. I was looking at some pictures and finally found one that shows it in pretty good detail. It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to make, but I'm not a machinist. Does anyone have one they could take...

I purchased 2 complete Speaker 143 tail lights. These would have been used on a Gilson mini bike (among other things). They are both working. I only need one of them. I am willing to part with one of them in exchange for other Gilson parts. I need: exhaust pipe with heat shield (I can...

I need a few parts for my Gilson bike. I know that they'll be hard to come by, but I figured if I had any chance, you guys would be it. The Gilson bikes were also called Allis Chalmers and some were sold and labled Montgomery Ward. I need the small chain guard (that runs from the jackshaft...

Only seen pics but bought it based on them, got a deal on it. I will access it to see if I can make a good rider with a predator but if not I will be selling parts. It has a lighted coil engine but it has parts missing, luckily it has the stator wires jutting out the front and it appears to be...

I picked up a Gilson bike last weekend. I finally had a chance to start working on it a little bit over the last few days. It's actually in really good shape -- even the bottoms of the fenders still have all their chrome. It was just really really dirty. Over the weekend, I started...

Last week, I announced that I had landed a Gilson. A friend of mine picked it up for me in Knoxville, as I wasn't able to go get it right away. I was finally able to get this thing home last night. It looks better than in the pictures. Most of what you see on it is dirt. There is some rust on...

This thing has been for sale locally for a couple of months. I've been working on the guy for a price since he posted it. He finally took my offer and it's mine now. I think this one will just need a thorough cleaning and some elbow grease. He said it turns over. It looks complete too. I...

Up for sale is a Gilson / Allis Chalmers fender for or rear. The chrome is decent for a survivor. 40 bucks

http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/complete-mini-bikes/52053-gilson-mini-trail-bike-400-near-chicago.html I have this mini bike sitting here and I want it gone, the previous owner had the wrong driven half of the torque converter on it when I got it. I have located the correct one and it has...

I just got back from driving 430 miles round trip through two big cities in the snow for an exhaust pipe, shield and some other parts. Even made a stop on the way to trade a Cheeftah roller for some Taco and Bonanza parts. This was the last piece needed to complete the restoration of the Allis...
