I was inspired last Winter when Oldmech showed a Toro snowblower that he fitted to work on his Grillo. With that in mind I bought a 1974 Gilson snowblower with a 32" front end. Although the 8HP engine was still good, the rest of the machine was a basket case. I decided to fit the front end to my repowered Gravely C8. The Gilson has a 3/4" shaft coming out of the blower housing. To get that to the Gravely PTO, at the Mow-In I bought a piece off a 30" mower - the piece that goes from the PTO into the mower gearbox. The shaft in that piece is 13/16" dia. so I had my local machine shop turn it down to 3/4". After that it was a simple matter of using a 3/4" sleeve to connect the two shafts. I did need to have an adapter plate made to mount on the rear of blower housing. I put several pictures below. The crank to turn the chute is not mounted in the pictures. I did start the engine and the augers and blower run perfectly. I should mention that I used a product called Rust Bullet on the snowblower before I painted it. While the paint job looks good in the pictures, up close it looks like an amateur did it - which I admit I am. Anyway this was a fun project. By the way, Gilson was known for making high-end residential snowblowers. To learn more about them Google "Gilson Snowblower Shop". I am not affiliated with guy that runs the site but he answered some questions I had and was very helpful.
