NEED HELP!!! Husqvarna Snow Blower
Original Message   Mar 14, 2008 1:28 pm
Does anyone have any thoughts on Husqvarna snowblowers, good or bad?  I've found a ST927E that looks to be in great shape.  It had a 9hp Techumseh on it.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

It seems you are looking at a second hand Husqvarna. There are some very good prior posts on Husqvarna on this forum and the Garden Forum. I'm not sure of the possible dates of the model run of the ST927LE without the model number from the machine tag. A google of "Husqvarna ST927LE" does not return a match.

It might be made by MTD {receint} or AYP {earlier}. Some Husqvarna machines were supposed to have been made in Sweden but I'm not sure if they ever made their own snowblowers for export to the US. ?

The general concensus seems to be the MTD machines are not as rugged as the ones built by AYP. If it's a newer machine your probably looking at an MTD. You could also get the machine numbers for the engine and run those on the web to see if you can get the specifics for that engine. There are a quite a few variations to the base models of engines. Not all HSSK90's are the same.

Thats a new one on me!!!  MTD does not make Husqvarna products and never did.

Please get your facts straight before you post info like that.

You're right. I've been lumping [Husky - Husqvarna] and MTD together.

I've always thought of AYP (parent Electrolux) as interchangable for Husqvarna (Electrolux parent) and use the name AYP instead of the name Electrolux. Husqvarna was formerly owned by Electrolux but became it's own company in 2006. I don't think AYP shares drawings with Husqvarna.

Having the same parent does not necessairly mean the product becomes the quality and build type of the other. They could keep their drawings and engineering departments seperate. These companies are pretty big, could merge and the products become difficult to track. They could breakup the chainsaw division of a merged company but keep the snowblower division independant.

I looked at a 2007 Troy-Bilt yesterday which had an MTD sticker and part number but I'm not sure if the machine was built to MTD spec's and in MTD assembly line or Troy's former line. The auger blades were not what I've seen on other MTD's.

I talked to the local Husqvarna dealer, and they said it's likely a '96-'98 model.  The current owner stated they only problem he's had with it is the last time he used it "the release from in-gear to neutral was getting stuck in the engaged position, I would have to manually pop it out."  Any ideas what this could be about?  I believe he was talking about the auger/impeller.  Is there linkage that may need adjusted/lubed, etc?

You are correct,  Husqvarna builds their own Snow blowers and have factories around the world,   The Husqvarna  snow blowers   sold in  North America are  built in the USA. . They have factories at     Orangeburg SC and Swannsboro GA  and 3 others .    . They  no longer have any connection with Electrolux    .Engineering is shared , the  Husqvarna  snowblowers  sold in Sweden are very similar to those sold in North America.

. Some of the higher priced Craftsman snow blowers are built by Husqvarna.  At  present these Craftsman models are only sold in Canada, not the USA.

It's the new BLACK.  This year's black is revolutionary different, blacker than black, more refined and sophisticated. 

Old news is the new news.  Lets make "no news" new news.  "Someone look at me" news.  Look, the emperor got has got new clothes.
