GENUINE GILSON PARTS:
Since a series of acquisitions that occurred in the late 1980s the LawnBoy Division of the Toro Company has been the keeper of the Gilson legacy. Over 20 years after Gilson Brothers Co. ceased to exist many genuine OEM repair parts do continue to be available. As parts continue to become obsolete we are introducing reproduction or replacement parts to fill the gaps and to help keep your Gilson in service. These items are marked by the "Sold By: The Gilson Snowblower Shop" header.

I frequently find that much misinformation surrounds the availability of repair parts for Gilson outdoor power equipment. Owners frequently tell me of local dealers who resist supplying vintage parts in hopes of selling a new machine. For those of you who do not have a local LawnBoy dealer, have one that is Gilson phobic or just prefer to shop online we are affiliated with M&D Mower who provide OEM Gilson and engine components. Links for such products will bring you to the M&D site for ordering. M&D Mower has been on the web for many years selling parts. If you contact them by phone be sure to mention that you learned about them on "That Gilson Snowblower Website".

M&D Mower is not equipped to research your parts needs. If you do not have a parts breakdown you can contact LawnBoy to get a manual using these instruction. I am also able to provide complete illustrated part lists for most machines as described here. If this is not practical you can contact me with your needs and I can provide the required numbers at your risk. To help insure accuracy be sure to include the Model Number from the tag and / or include some photo's of the machine or the part(s) in question. There were many models over the decades, without positive identification misunderstandings can occur.

As part of bringing the Gilson Legacy to LawnBoy all of the Gilson parts needed to be renumbered to work in the LawnBoy distribution system. This means a cross referencing step that is needed. Some items are cross referenced in the M&D data base but it is not 100% complete. Don't give up until you search for the LawnBoy number. If you e-mail to me your Gilson part numbers I can provide the corresponding LawnBoy part numbers. By using the LawnBoy numbers the current availability and price can be checked by searching here.

In general a large portion of what I consider to be wear & repair parts do remain available. Certain items such as castings and major sheet metal parts that almost never fail have become obsolete. For items such as this consider contacting me about getting a used part. As critical parts become obsolete we are continually exploring the production of reproduction parts to service the fleet. This page features all of the parts many owners will ever need.
