Thanks for your replies! I did a quick Google search and the closest that I came up with was a Snowbird 1961 model 224. If I read the serial number on mine correctly, I have a 0203-0532. I'm assuming the 203 is what the model I have. I'll have to double check tomorrow and do some more Google searching.

BTW: Still runs great! Did a thorough clean out on the motor (last summer), and the engine is still going strong! Shows signs of rust so I might have to take it apart for a good ol' paint job this summer!

Below is model 224. Picture came from here: http://majorpowerequip.com/7.html

Definitely a Snowbird-My next door neighbor had one when I was a kid.

Thats a really nice snowbird!
looks to be in good condition..

They are quite highly regarded in the snowblower collector world..(especially the older ones, 1950's and 1960's before the company was bought out..
yours is in that "classic" catagory)

there is a group/forum for them:

I've had "zero" luck identifying which year my "snowybird" was made in. Waiting on approval from the Yahoo Snowbird group owner. Hope to pick up some information from there.

Thanks for all your replies!
