funny you mention Husqvarna.Made by Roper. Which ended up becoming Husqvarna.
Roper was a manufacturer of lawn and garden equiment in the US during the latter half of the 20th Century. Roper began building outdoor power equipment in 1966 when the George D. Roper Company purchased the former David Bradley manufacturing works from Sears. Roper continued to supply lawn equipment to Sears for the next thirty years. In 1989, Roper was purchased by General Electric (GE) and Roper outdoor unit was sold to AB Electrolux. Roper became part of their American Yard Products (AYP) division which included the Husqvarna brand. This division was later established as its own company using the Husqvarna name.
i went to my Toro dealer just yesterday in fact, i had to buy 2 new primer rubber buttons, and 2 new primer bodies, (as back up, since one rubber primer button fell apart, after having the Toro now since 1996..>!!!) i also as recently as this past summer, replaced the primer rubber line, from the button, to the carb, on 2 of my (smaller 2 stroke) machines, the 3 rd machine, my big 521 Toro,(4 stroke) was a PITA, so i didn't replace that one.
well anyway, this Toro dealer (that i have been a customer of, since 1979), does NOT sell Husqvarna snow blowers..he said, I WILL NOT CARRY THOSE, and YOU DO NOT WANT ONE...what better advice from the dealer, that sells Husqvarna..?????
but he does sell other Husq. products.
he also sells Ariens, Honda, Toro..the Ariens is nearly the same exact color as the Husq.
i saw the Husq snow throwers at Lowe's and i liked the multi-directional chute it has....more places to aim and shoot that snow, over my older thrower.
but for the time being, i am hanging onto what i have, i plan on selling my home in a few years, maybe sooner, and where i go live.>??
maybe Arizona, New Mexico, someplace where SNOW, is a dirty 4 letter word.....
