B&S is not in the 2-stroke game, they do 4-stroke. Craftsman outdoor power is a private label by MTD out of Ohio. MTD brands include Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Ryobi, Yard Machines, Bolens and Cub Cadet. Some assembly stateside but the bulk of the manufacturing and parts come from overseas.

They are now a VAR = value added reseller. -john -----Original Message----- From: Merlyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Airborne Backpack Blower Its probably a Briggs and Stratton out of Wisconsin.
