Hi Everyone, I'm selling a Gilson ST826 Snow Blower. I've had this machine for five years. I picked it used. It has electric starts and fires everytime......
Hi all, I'm hoping to get an answer to a question I have. I currently am working on the Montgomery Ward packaged version of the 2-cycle Snow Cannon that Gilson...
... Most any 2 cycle carb that I have worked on,you turn the idle mixture screw out to 3/4 to 1 turn and the high speed adjuster to 1 1/2,then with the engine...
Idle speed isn't too important unless the engine uses a centrifugal clutch. I'm not too familair with the snow canon, but I believe that it uses an idler and...
If anyone is interested, I have a spare copy of Small Air cooled Engines service manual. Intertec 13th ed, 1981. In excellent condition, hard cover with dust...
Hey Pete, Long time no chat. Hope you are doing well. Think back into your memory bank. LOL. I'm the guy with the Gilson from the curb here in NYC...1971...
Obsolescence is the key word here. While the basic configuration of you UniTrol model stayed the same for a decade the blower belt idler roller and spring were...
I have a montgomery wards model gil478d 7hp briggs.The thing runs like a champ and I love it but the reverse mode of the transmission does not work and am...
is this a snowblower? If so I believe this is a Gilson. I currently own a running gilson and if I cannot fix it perhaps I could use it for parts. Thanks for...
Hi Peter, It could be a worn or damaged internal part or it could be an external adjustment. In any case the grease in that gearcase is about 40 years old and...
oops it seems I owe you an apoligy. I belong to a local freecycle group and this email came in with a bunch of those messages. I got it confused with those and...
The engine should be governed to 3600 RPM. The other common wear point in theses transmissions is the flat stamping of the shifting fork. It can be worn but...
Thanks, Pete. I have one more question. My collector belt doesn't seem to be de-clutching correctly, the collector keeps turning even with the lever in what...
Hi Matt, On those machines the auger will sometimes keep lumbering along albeit with very little power. It is more comforting to see it STOP when you...
Does anyone know where I can get replacement pulleys for Auger and Drive clutches? I have a Gilson Model 836 41903. Keith From: Pete B Sent: Wednesday,...
If it's the steel idler rollers that tighten the belts you are taking about this is the repair part: http://www.m-and-d.com/TOR-742687.html?mv_pc=Gilson read...
I took a chance and ordered an idler bearing off ebay....worked great. Someone told me you could get it much cheaper from a bearing supply shop. The Bearing I...
Hi Pete, Starting to get my snowblower ready for you know what but I'm have a problem with the lever popping out of HI or LOW setting when I start moving...
Thanks. I got a Napa "Garden FHP Belt 4L430" which they said was the gates power equipment line, it does have a tiny gates logo on the back of the package....
There is a little angled plate under the lever that contains the detents that hold the lever in gear. It is on elongated slots that allow it to be adjusted to...
Another place to check is the retaining rings and thrust washers that are on each side of the cast iron dogs. After 4 decades of use they can deform and let...
Hello all - I purchased a decent Gilson ST1032 (model #55353) in April 2008. Needless to say, this year I am looking forward to the northeastern Illinois...
Hi Doug, If LawnBoy can't find your manual it is included in the Intertec manual. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0872884090/thespectrofourli It is...
Hi Pete, Thanks for the input but I think I found the problem. The little plate the high/low shifter rests on had moved about an 1/8 of an inch to one side....
It's not just a bearing. The real value is in the outer sleeve that encircles the bearing and makes it into a replacement idler. It's nothing amazing but as a...
Hi Pete, I own a MW / Gilson 35211B snowblower, and I was wondering if anyone out there makes a scraper bar that will fit this machine. I have tried the 24"...
