Gilson Montgomery Ward garden tractor?

I just picked this thing up from the neighbor across the street. Does anyone know where any info can be found? I have been unable to find much info on this at all. I know it was made by Gilson for wards. About 30 years old. Has a Briggs and Stratton 16 horse single cylinder cast iron engine. I just had to take the engine out to remove the mouse nest under the shroud. I got the tractor and a snow blower with a front mount push blade for 250. Tractor runs super. Sat for two years plus, and I put a new battery in it and fresh gas. Popped right off and not even a hint of oil smoke at start up.
