What, a snow blower on a lawn mower forum?
Yep, even though it's the 7th of March, we've still got a good 6" of snow on the ground here in N/W Illinois, and I had the opportunity to grab onto a piece of Honda Power Equipment History.
I don't know for sure if the Honda HS35 was Honda's first snow blower, but I do believe it was the first they introduced to the U.S. market.

Since I have a liking for "vintage" Honda Power Equipment, I told my local Honda dealer that if he were to come across one, I'd be interested in getting it. Just so happened he had one sitting in the back of his shop.
It had been tucked into the back corner for months. Luckily the gas had been drained out of it. I brought it home, put some gas in it, and well, here's the first pull...
So, let the restoration begin!
