Sears Tractors are manufactured by American Yard Products (AYP), they also
make Husqvarna Lawn and Garden tractors.

Sears machines are made by a variety of manufacturers - they have never had
a long-term relationship with any one producer.
That is one of the reasons why it is so hard to get parts for older Sears
machines.

I am not real big on John Deeres. Green paint must be expensive not to
mention the parts. I had a older 212 and gave it to my son and told him
to treat it nice because the parts will get you. There is nothing wrong
with a MTD for the price and you can get parts anywhere because they
make most of them anyway. Sears is a MTD in grey paint and + price. I
would go with a ZTR.
