Welcome to the Gilson Snowblower Shop

This is the heavy duty version of the top quality kit we have been selling since 2015. My testing began several years before that. We have real experience, combined with the history of many owners. It will allow you to tailor the fit your impeller, so it slings all of the snow or slush up the chute and away. Throwing distance will be significantly farther and clogging will be reduced greatly. This is a universal kit intended for use on any machine brand that will accommodate it.

This auction is for machines with 5-blade impellers.

For each impeller blade the following parts are included:

COMPOSITE VANE

MATERIAL- The vanes are fabricated from a proven industrial material used in mining equipment. The outer layers are very wear resistant while the inner core provides strength without becoming brittle.

SIZE- 4 inches long, .35 inches thick (almost 3/8" thick), 1-7/8 inches wide. These are stiff enough for any machine.

MOUNTING SLOTS- Our kits were the first kit to introduce vane slots. The slots provide flexibility to tune your installation and allow you to advance the vanes if they ever do wear. Four slots provide more flexibility in your installation. If a gusset or rib is in the way you can skip a hole and still have 3. If you need to trim the vane you have more options.

MANUFACTURING- Vanes are fabricated in the U.S.A. with digitally controlled machines that ensure consistent parts. This means they will not cause an imbalance of your impeller.

CLAMP PLATE

BAR MATERIAL- Stainless steel for durability.

HOLES- Holes are sized to accurately guide your drilling and to mate with the vanes. These are purpose specific parts, no extra holes. They support the full length of the vane

MANUFACTURING- Vanes are fabricated in the U.S.A. with digitally controlled machines that ensure consistent parts. This means they will not cause an imbalance of your impeller.

HARDWARE

MATERIAL- Zinc Plated steel for durability and serviceability

NUTS – Lock-nuts so they do not need to be over-tightened

BOLTS- Hex head so you can use wrenches, sockets, or nut drivers in tight quarters. Bolts are 1 inch long to accommodate stamped impeller ribs.

Kits are in stock, and we ship with 1 day handling time.

  • I have these on some machines in my collection and they really make a big difference in all sorts of snow. The ability to handle wet slushy snow is greatly enhanced. I’m not just a seller, I have been in the industry since 1972.
  • Every installation is unique but general instructions are included to help you install your kit.
  • Some installations may require you to trim the parts to fit, and that's Okay!
  • This is a common Do It Yourself (DIY) project done in place working mainly through the chute opening.
  • If you will have your machine apart with the impeller out on the bench, that's a great time for this project.
  • Some tools are needed. Usually a drill with bits, a C-Clamp or 2, and some small wrenches will get it done.
  • Be sure to disable the engine by disconnecting the spark plug when you are working.
  • Vanes should be installed and adjusted so they almost touch the side wall at the tightest spot.
  • The first time you run the machine with new vanes get them wet with soapy water (or snow) to lubricate them while any contact points break in.
