Just so the facts and names are straight (copied from a posting by Sergeant at another forum in 2010 but the info is up to date still):
Here we go... Roper was Bought By Electrolux in 1988, it became American Yard Products (AYP). Electrolux also bought Husqvarna in 1978 . AYP was moved from IL to South Carolina (Sears had owned a portion of Roper the controlling interest, Roper had made most of the Sears Suburbans and Craftsman Tractors). So both Husqvarna and Craftsman Tractors where made at the AYP plant in SC. In 2006 (in 1986 Electrolux bought Poulan Pro & Weed eater) Electrolux spun off its outdoor power equipment under Husqvarna and made it its own company So Husqvarna is now the parent company of AYP which is still around. So certain Craftsman GT & lawn tractors are made at the same plant where Husqvarna, Poulan Pro, Weed Eater and Dixon Lawn and Garden tractors are made (Dixon was bought by Husqvarna in the last few years). Currently some Craftsman and Craftsman Professional series are now made by MTD as well as Husqvarna/AYP.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
