Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Montgomery Ward tiller, dependable power, addys


Question
Hi I have a good working condition Montgomery Ward 5hp Dependable Power Plus GIL-1580-e  serial 11307. It has some rust but is otherwise intact and runs well. I have someone who wants to buy it from me but I haven't been able to find out any other information about it. Could you give me some general information on this item and if you could a price range of what I may be able to ask for it.

Answer
Hello Amberly:

>>The Model Number is for a Gilson Manufactured Unit.
>>In 1988 Gilson was Acquired by LAWN-BOY. In 1989 LAWN-BOY was Acquired by TORO. Currently LawnBoy/Toro is Handling the Some of the GILSON Parts.
>>You can Use the Site Addys at this Site Addy; http://www.yetmans.mb.ca/antiques.html to Search and Locate New/Used Parts or for Manuals for this Unit.
>>The Suggested Price for Any Used Equipment is Usually 1/3 to 1/2 the Price of a New Unit that has the Same Features as the Used One.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
