Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): rear tine tiller model 5081-64, garden rotovator, gilson tiller

Question
QUESTION: This garden rotovator is a turf-til made by Gilson brothers company in plymouth, wisconsin.  My husband inherited this tiller from his father in an estate.  Unbeknownst to us, one part is broken in the drive parts list, and we haven't been able to replace that part from any supplier.  Would you be able to tell me where we might find a supplier for parts pertaining to this tiller?  Thankyou for your help.

ANSWER: Hello Bonnie:

Toro Took Over Gilison. Try http://www.toro.com/ to see if they have a manual. You Might try Clymer at 1-800-262-1954; I Read Somewhere that They May have a Manual. You can Also try this Manual Company. They Produce Engine Manuals and May have one; http://www.haynes.com.au/category50_1.htm . If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

QUESTION: Thankyou for your email.  We do have a manual for this particular rotovator, but we cannot find replacement parts anywhere in Canada or the USA.  Toro does not even have this particular tiller listed in their products, so we are absolutely stumped as to where to try and find replacement parts.  Thank you so much for your help.

bonnie
