Toro Closes Plant -- Restructures
IN A MOVE to cut excess manufacturing capacity, the Toro Co. has announced tentative plans to close on July 6 its Lawn-Boy manufacturing plant in Plymouth, Wis., the former home base of Gilson Bros., which Lawn-Boy absorbed in 1986.
Gilson had evolved into a major private-label producer for marketers such as the Ford Tractor Division and Montgomery Wards. Lawn-Boy, a division of Outboard Marine Corp., put its green paint on the Gilson products and instantly became a full-line power equipment manufacturer in the consumer realms, with strong ties to the commercial/golf course product lines of Cushman, another OMC division.
If you need parts look for Ford/Gilson, hopefully it's a ford model and you can find them that way, otherwise it could be a museum piece
