   Item 1.   Security and Issuer

             This statement relates to the common stock, $1.00 par value
   ("Common Stock"), of HON INDUSTRIES Inc. ("Issuer"), 414 East Third
   Street, P. O. Box 1109, Muscatine, Iowa, 52761.

   Item 2.   Identity and Background.

             The person filing this statement is Bandag, Incorporated, an
   Iowa corporation ("Bandag"), with its headquarters at Bandag Center,
   Muscatine, Iowa, 52761-5886.  Bandag is primarily in the business of
   retreading used tires for the transportation industry.  Bandag has not,
   during the five years prior to the date hereof, been convicted in a
   criminal proceeding.

             During the five years prior to the date hereof, Bandag has not
   been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
   competent jurisdiction as a result of which Bandag was or is subject to a
   judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
   prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
   securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

             A list of the executive officers, directors and controlling
   shareholders, including their addresses and principal occupations, is set
   forth in Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.  To the best
   knowledge of Bandag, none of these individuals during the five years prior
   to the date hereof (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
   (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a
   party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
   competent jurisdiction and as a result of which was or is subject to a
   judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
   prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities
   laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

   Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

             Not applicable.

   Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

             On October 29, 1997, Bandag, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
   BTC, Inc., sold 2,395,000 shares of Common Stock in a registered public
   offering (the "Offering") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-
   3, File No. 333-36433 (the "Registration Statement").  Upon consummation
   of the Offering, Bandag held no shares of Common Stock.

             Other than as indicated above, neither Bandag, nor any of its
   executive officers, directors or controlling shareholders, has any present
   plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following
   (although Bandag reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals): 
   (i) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
   disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate
   transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving
   the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a
   material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv)
   any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer,
   including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors
   or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuer's Board of Directors; (v)
   any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of
   the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's charter or by-
   laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
   Issuer by any person; (vii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to
   be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be
   authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
   registered national securities association; (viii) a class of equity
   securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration
   pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
   (ix) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

   Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

             (a) - (b) Upon consummation of the Offering, Bandag held no
                       shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  To the best
                       knowledge of Bandag, no shares of Common Stock are
                       beneficially owned by any of its executive officers,
                       directors or controlling shareholders, except for
                       (1) 7,200 shares beneficially owned by Lucille A.
                       Carver, Treasurer and a director, (2) an aggregate of
                       8,820 shares beneficially owned by Martin G. Carver,
                       Chief Executive Officer, President and a director, and
                       Roy J. Carver, Jr., a director, as trustees of trusts
                       established by Lucille A. Carver for the benefit of
                       her grandchildren, and (3) 1,500 shares beneficially
                       owned by Warren W. Heidbreder, Vice President, Chief
                       Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.  Edgar D.
                       Jannotta, a director of Bandag, is Senior Director of
                       William Blair & Company, L.L.C. ("Blair").  Blair is a
                       market maker in the Common Stock and, as such, may
                       from time to time have a long or short position in the
                       Common Stock.

             (c)       The only transaction in Common Stock that was effected
                       by Bandag during the 60 days prior to the Offering was
                       the transfer for no consideration of 2,395,000 shares
                       of Common Stock to Bandag's wholly-owned subsidiary,
                       BTC, Inc.  To the best knowledge of Bandag, none of
                       its executive officers, directors or controlling
                       shareholders has effected any transactions in the
                       Common Stock during the past 60 days, except for
                       Martin G. Carver, Chief Executive Officer, President
                       and a director, who, with his wife, sold 8,094 shares
                       of Common Stock at $57-1/4 per share on October 15, 1997.

             (d)       Not Applicable.

             (e)       Bandag ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than
                       5% of the Common Stock on October 29, 1997.

   Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
             Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

             None.

   Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

             Information concerning certain persons referred to in Item 2 is
   contained in Exhibit I.

             After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
   belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is
   true, complete and correct.

             Dated:    October 30, 1997.
