Gilco Concrete Mixer

I picked up a large portable concrete mixer. It was made by C.F. Gilco Inc. From Grafton WI. There is a manufacturers name plate, but it only has a serial number and no model number. It has a Hatz 2G40 2 cylinder diesel engine. I believe that is about a one yard mixer. I would like to find an owner's manual for the mixer. I can get an engine owner's manual from the Hatz website. If anyone has seen a mixer like this one or has operated one I would be interested to hear about it. The company is still in business and still makes mixers. I emailed them but don't expect any support for a 20-40 year old piece of equipment.

I had a good friend neighbor that had one that the engine was gone and he fixed it to work with PTO.
He no longer used it, so he took the hopper off and made it into a 3 point dump carrier, that I now have.

Nice looking machine, but in my feeble opinion, unless you have a large number of 1 yard or smaller projects lined up in different locations, anything you have to add material to by hand is useless. Try doing a 10 yard garage floor with it sometime. By the time you get the last batch mixed, the first is set, not to mention hauling around 60 bags of cement and 20,000 lbs of sand and gravel. Then, it has to be cleaned every time your done.
 
I agree on loading by hand. However I plan to have bulk piles of sand and gravel. The hopper on the mixer lowers and raises by engine power. I have a compact Case bucket loader which will load the cement sand and gravel into the hopper. I have a generator pad to pour and also some sidewalks. I think it will be fine for this type of limited size project.
 
I had the sister to it, only powered by Wisconsin gas, used it and regret selling it. If you get done with yours and want to sell it let me know your location.
