That machine dates back to about 1967. I don't know what is available as an OEM item from LawnBoy but my guess is that the odds are slim. My FAQ page outlines...

And from what I hear what remains for parts for Hann Eclipse is very limited. Anyone have machine or brochures they can post? They were never a huge brand here...
I just got an old Craftsman brand snowthrower and it's missing some parts. I'd like to find out how I can get it running. I need info on the chain drive...
From an Estate, was given to me - no spark, points maybe? also carb was off, not sure how throttle linkage hooks up. Stay tuned for updates - anyone have one...
... on ... I believe you will have a diffucult time getting parts for that. I have a 1962 Craftsman 6hp, can get engine parts, but nothing for the rest of it...
Is a new one needed? Would a rebuild kit get you going? If it is shot or damaged try looking for another vinatge engine that you can use for parts or one a...
Senator was one of the private brands Gilson built. Anyone have one? I'd love to see some pictures including a good dead on shot of the logo. Manual cover...
Just a reminder to check your crankcase oil before starting that snowblower for the first time this year. Many a machine has been destroyed because the oil was...
Hi everyone! I just grabbed a Montgomery Ward 4HP GIL-484C at a garage sale for FIVE BUCKS. I'm a new homeowner, I have not worked on small engines before, but...
Sounds like a great find. Not many of those got sold here in New England from what I can tell. I've never seen one in person. Keep us posted! Pete ... on ... ...
Okay, here's the quick rundown on the 484C: Many bolts are missing--had to make a run to the local hardware store just to "plug all the holes." Upon...

Steve, The TMO designation is for a MTD or Yardman built machine. You might try to do a search on Google for info on your machine. I have heard that MTD does...
Nice job I like the way you were able to work around the decals, that did a lot to keep it looking authentic. That has the semi-pneumatic tires, you might keep...
Adapting another 26 inch part is probably the best bet. As time goes by the volume on Gilson parts is diminishing and this helps drive the cost of parts. The...
