To all interested in the George Garden Tractor Manufactured by Community Industries in Sullivan, Il.This was a factory that had 3 divisions-(Garden tractors,Candy and clothing)George Garden Tractors started in 1946 and coined the phrase"Let George Do It",They had sluggish sales at first but then developed walk-behinds that had many optional tools. Exceptional growth followed and shortly they outgrew the building, they employed 200 people and by 1958 had introduced the Snow-bird(snowblower),Earth-bird(tiller) and Lawn-bird(riding mower)They were in business until Jan. 1967 when Yard-Man of Jackson, Michigan purchased the George Garden Tools Division from Community Ind. .Yard-Man was eventually sold to Montgomery Wards in 1971 and then in 1975 to MTD Products. Hope this is a help to all present and archived questions. Gary Davis gncdavis@frontiernet.net

Gary, I just bought a Snow Bird s264. Do you happen to know where I can get an owners manual or replacement parts. It looks and runs great. The only thing it is missing is the electric starter.

Thanks

Seth is right! The starter motor is engine specific.If its got a Briggs look for the model, type and code on the engine. Then go to a Briggs parts dealer and tell him what you need. Gary

I might be mistaken, but the starter is engine specific and is not really related to the snow bird blower itself.
