One more thought on Mr. Gilson. I have a push mower with
a bagger and bag grass for the landlord's sheep. I pull
the cart with my Mr. Gilson. Started right off after a long
cold winter and we took off to get some grass. Problem
when I wanted to shut the engine off-would not shut off.
Thought if I had a tree out there I could probably run it up
against the tree and it would die. Noticed a wire running
along the side of the motor and wondered what would happen if I pressed the throttle wire against it. Worked. The motor
stopped. I will continue to do this as I don't want to start
with a new switch and have the problems you had.

Happy Mothers day!!

 

I could really use a wiring diagram on my 79 Montgomery wards it starts and runs fine Pto won't do anything light or clutch. I have tested light and clutch and both work fine. somebody has had their fingures in it and I would like to check wiring. tractor # GIL33422 A

 

Dear Rebtris, I was so glad to see your post! I have a friend trying to to get a Gilson running again. The model number is 53040. I'm not sure of the year. She needs the parts and owners manual. Thank you in advance! Linda

 

I need a part number for a 12.5 hp v twin IC Ignition Coil. This unit is so old that part numbers are near imposable to read. Any and all help will be appreciated.
