My dad has this little handheld Homelite blower called "The Yard Broom". The UT number is 08026H and the serial number is HT1391858. I'm just curious if anyone knows the year of manufacture. We've had it for as long as I can remember, so it's anyway 1990s if not older. It's still a nice little runner! It was sitting in storage for years and we had to replace fuel hoses and put a rebuild kit in the carb, but no issues otherwise. It advertises 170 mph, and it certainly packs a punch for such a small unit. I was outside this afternoon blowing pinecones with it, and that gave me the idea to post about it here.

June 19th of 1998 is the birthdate of that blower. Still working well at 26 years old is pretty good for a blower!

Thanks for the quick reply! We've taken good care of it. It's been a terrific blower for its size. Its power is actually comparable to the Stihl backpack we have (go figure!)
