The Home store side of Sears is but was sold off from corporate before the big bankrupcy. Sears never made the stuff they sold. The craftsman equipment was made by several different companies over the years, but Sears always used the OEM part number of the company that made the product. So If you look up a model with 917 then all part numbers are Poulan/Husqvarna. The new ones are 316 I believe which is MTD. The new Craftsman riders, push mowers, weedeaters, and chainsaw products are made by MTD and the Pressure washers are Briggs.Is Sears still in business?????
