Tracking down original carts was a particular challenge.

"It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I got my first original cart," he said. Gade carts were always red, and Gilbert's kept his authentic, He builds new tool boxes to replace those that are badly deteriorated, and makes sure the sizes match those of the originals.

Gilbert's not alone in his interest in Gade engines.

"My family's all taken great interest in this," he said. At a recent show in Clay Center, Neb., he exhibited 12 Gades --including a full set. For a brief time, nearly all of his immediate family members (three daughters, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild - his wife resides in a care facility) were also on hand. He and his family have already agreed that, after he dies, his Gades will stay in good hands.

"We're going to divide them among the children," he said.

For now, though, he continues in the thick of it - collecting, researching, registering, and corresponding.

"People call me and write me with questions, and I'll send them copies of literature or pictures, or just try to answer their questions," he said. "I've enjoyed that as much as anything. This is just a real nice hobby."
