Come to think of it.. I remember stumbling across a vintage snow blower collectors group when I was looking up some info on a craigslist find (I picked up an old snowblower for 50 bucks.. turns out it was made in the late 50's or early 60's!). Yes, there are people who are passionate about collecting and restoring vintage snowblowers! No safety measures but common sense on my snowblower. It will take a finger, hand or arm clean off and keep clearing snow.
