Broke a piece on control of my old SB,Piece is unique and unit inoperable w/o it.I have been trying to find mfg for over a year,If anyone has an idea,lemme know.Unit dates back to late 60s-early 70s when "generic" stuff started showing up,is labelled "The SnowThrower".Maybe there was a "The Lawnmower" or "The Rototiller" also????? ??I have posted this on several small engine/mower forums w/o success YET.

Question:
I have an older 2-stage snowblower in good working shape, but have no idea who made it. All decals and markings appear to be present and readable. The handle "apron" decals simply say Self Propelled, 10 Speeds Forward, 4 Speeds Reverse and 7 HP - NO other wording. On top of blower housing it says "THE SNOWTHROWER". The serial no. sticker 726-0530 is on lower left rear.
The manual which came with machine is complete, but has NO manufacturer info or copywrite info. It has numbered parts diagrams but no ordering info. The manual says the unit is a Model 8000. Unit was either red or orange with black /white trim when new; it's now a rather pinkish color. The engine is an electric start HM70 Tecumseh.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

Sounds like it could be a MTD snowbird.Might check a MTD dealer.The model number resembles a MTD number.

Does not appear to be vintage MTD,Murray,Ariens,Toro,Snapper,Simplicity,Sears, Gilson,Wards,Noma,Try,Yardman,Allis,MF,Penneys, Lambert.I've been wrenchin snowblowers for several years and you kind of get to know em.Got this at estate sale,when old widower died,no family to ask,not from any local dealer.I even went thru an entire "belt application" book and can find nothing that matches Model No or name.

Snowbird used to make a snowblower in the 60's thru the early 70's that was two stage with a Blower housing that rotated left to right. I have a manual if you need info..
