I bought a 1970 (approx) vintage Toro Snowhound 20.

No air cleaner at all? Not even a screen to keep mice out in the
summer? Is this normal for the industry?


Yep! I did small engine work for a few years, never saw a filter, screen or
anything on the carburetor intake. My guess is it would just get clogged
with snow anyway!
Neither my twenty year old Bolens or my two year old Toro have anything for
a intake filter.
