If you can't supply all the information that's OK but please be as complete as possible.

Your first name, so I can give credit if yours is a new sighting:

What Brand is your machine?
Is it an actual "GILSON" or one of the private brands Gilson built such as LawnBoy, Mastercraft, Plymouth, Marshall Wells, Beaver, New Holland, HAKO, Snow Charger, Ford, Montgomery Ward, Wizard, Senator, Toyota, Artisan, TECO, Garden Mark, Brentwood, Mor-power, Gambles, SNOTRAC, Bob-a-Lawn, Davis?

Gilson Model Identification Sticker What is the model number of your machine?
NOTES:
  • Decal designation on it like "ST826" are not model numbers. Be sure you get the model number from the actual model/serial tag shown to the right.
  • The model number tag wil be a metal tag or sticker on the machine, not the engine. If you stand at the controls your toes will probably be pointing at it.
  • Snow Cannons will have the ID tag as a sticker on one of the tubular handles.
  • The tag may not say "Gilson Brothers Company" but the format will be similar. It may read GILBROCO, Northern GILBRO, Polee Power Products, Ford or otherwise.
  • Montgomery Ward / Garden Mark tags look different. The model number will have the "GIL" prefix.
  • If your model number begins with "TMO"' then MTD built the machine for Montgomery Ward, sorry, it is not a Gilson
