There is really no reason to identify that thing. It's probably 30, or
maybe even 40+ years old. If you need more than a spark plug or a belt
for it, it's toast. If it runs, use it. Change the oil, and grease
whatever speaks, if it makes you feel better.


I agree...it definitely is quite old and if you did find out
manufacturer they're not going to have anything on something that old
anyway. The "IF YOU WRITE..." tag is telling of age -- that has
50's-vintage overtones to me, maybe 60's.

As for conjectures, I'd venture a very early Craftsman-like scenario of
a supplier assembling pieces for a retailer or maybe a regional
small-equipment manufacturer who decided to give snowblowers a shot for
a winter product.

Only other shot at all would be to see if there are any identifying
marks on castings, etc., but it's all for naught anyway except purely
academic exercise.
