Welcome to the Gilson Snowblower Shop
For many years Gilson Brothers company built fine snowblowers that featured oil impregnated bronze liner bearings in the belt tensioning idler rollers. As an upgrade to improve reliability they developed a sealed bearing upgrade kit #89400. The OEM price of this kit has skyrocketed but we have been able to control the cost of our duplicate kit that we offer direct to you. All components are new and professionally produce. Installation instructions are included.
This assembly replaces the belt tension idler roller assembly used on the traction belt of many Gilson built, friction drive snowblowers. Applicable models have 1, 3, or 4 speeds. This part is mounted to the engine. It replaces prior versions that had bronze liner bearings as well as a later version with ball bearings. These prior versions are included in the pictures for reference.

This replacement part features a hearty sealed ball bearing with a precision machined outer shell that will provide a long, maintenance free service. It is a direct replacement, no modification is required. Just bolt it on, attach the spring and start working.

If you have any questions please contact me about your unit before ordering.

This kit replaces the following Gilson part numbers: 18133, 10472, 10474, 1042, 10473, 10532, 10471 or 207157, 207158, 201982.
