Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I saw this yesterday:
http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-179cc-21-quot-Single-Stage-Snow-Thrower-with-Electric-Start-reviews
It is brand new. It has a Toro like auger now. The only thing is the engine all I found was it was a Craftsman, I am suspecting a Chinese engine.

As far as I can tell, all Sears snow blower engines are made in China by a company called LCT.

I recently posted my concerns about Chinese engines: http://www.abbysguide.com/ope/discussions/49362-0-1.html

Time will tell if these engines hold up, and how readily available parts will be.
