Fred, I believe that the older MTD's were built better than today models. I have an MTD rider that has no deck, and I customized it electrically. The older MTD's were also very simple to work on.

the blower is indeed an MTD product but mtd owns mc culloch they are built in tiawan or china.

that being said it is a pretty good blower for the price.

i have worked on some of there stuff and it was built a lot better than i was expecting.

anytime you get a whole crank you get a pretty good machine.

only problems i have seen were bad gas related carb troubles.
