I don't know.  I found more  links Link like this one showing full mowers and other similar devices along with Sears giving awards to Agri Fab as one of their top partners this last year.  Set me straight.  I will hold my crazy uninformed posts until later.  Too much energy for 11pm.

Heck, am I looking at the wrong number this whole time?  I am just regurging site info rather than checking on the blower which I can't do until I have it.   Sorry if it is just so far off.

I don't have the number messed up or altered Check it here and have found a few sites listing the 071 prefix as Agri Fab Here and Here.  I don't pretend to know for certain.

Hopefully I set the links correctly. 

Didn't mean to confuse issue.  Just curious about Agri Fab as mfr or maybe simply assembler of my favorite Craftsman OPE. 

They are not in bed with MTD.  Just brought up how MTD took over White and their good name (and stole their history  http://www.mtdproducts.com/company/history.jsp ) as example of empty name brand company.

Very interested in anyone's knowledge of either 071 prefix (assumed to be Agri Fab) OPE under Craftsman name, or how good Agri Fab stuff is supposed to be. 

I have been lurking here for a few months and have ordered a snow thrower today from Sears.  Have to be honest it was simply how much credit that Sears has given me that drove most of my decision.  I am a relatively new home owner and have had very good experience so far with Craftsman OPE. 

I have a 130' asphalt drive with a 30x40 concrete parking space.  I also have 300 feet of sidewalk (which I have ignored so far, bad, bad neighbor)  that may become 500 in a year or two.  I also have had many back and groin injuries which have finally made me admit my limits and driven me to buy another expensive toy/tool. 

I ordered the Craftsman 071887900 (has Tecumseh, non SnowKing apparently, never been Tec fan anyway) which might have been the focus of the Toro vs Craftsman thread earlier.  The model number is supposedly Agri Fab as Mfr.  and I wondered if anyone knew about this line.  I did not realize until today that every item in my garage from Craftsman that I like (including attachments for Lawn Tractor) have the Agri Fab mfr model number.  I don't know much about them or if they are anything more than a shell for Sears.  I need to say that MTD at some point was the same as White which was a quality company in the Cleveland area before I was born.  They claim that some items coming out under the White name will again be good quality equipment.  I won't hold my breath.  Well, I went on a bit for my first post.  Please, educate me if you can.
