The original subject was "Re: Hyd pump on gilson 33048a?".
Morning all, My grandfather bought the 33048A brand new in 1971 as well. I have now acquired and bringing it back to life. Have successfully got the motor running well, however, struggling with the tiller model(GIL-33095A). When engage the PTO, the drive shaft spins, the tines spin on tiller, but when lower tiller/tines to begin tilling the tines stop upon touching the ground, however the drive shaft continues to spin. Originally thought the key-ways were gone. During tear down found key-ways still intact. I"m not sure if the problem is that the worm gear is worn or there"s other issues. I expect parts to be very scarce. Looking for any advice or if anyone out there has the tiller assembly for this model that they are willing to part with. Thanks for any assistance. Dave
