Re: toro 824 xl snow blower

You can go to www.toro.com to lookup your model just need the model number & serial number (824 XL is not the model number). There should be no up & down movement you need to replace the bearing before the shaft is damaged. Part number of just the bearing is 63-3450 there is an assy part number 12-8789 that is the bearing & both bearing plates if there is any damage to the bearing plates you should replace them too.

Thanks for that AJ. Does Husqvarna build Craftsman snow throwers in their plant and just give them a different paint job? Or does Husky & Craftsman use a generic manufacturer such as Murray or MTD to build their machines? I'd find it a little unusual to have Craftsman machines coming off of a Husqvarna assembly line. Not impossible though. Might be a bit of a marketing dilemma to explain why a Husky is better than a Craftsman however.
Yes Husqvarna builds Craftsman snow throwers in their plant and gives them a different paint job. Murray is owned by Briggs & Stratton and is but a shell of the former company. All of the Murray product is now built in Snapper/Simplicity plants also owned by Briggs & Stratton. Some of the Sears product is built by Murray and some MTD and the rest Husqvarna. If the model number starts with 917 or 944 it is Husqvarna, 536 is Murray and 247 is MTD so no one company builds all of the Sears product. Briggs has recently dropped the Murray name and has changed it to Briggs & Stratton Yard Power Products Group which includes Murray, Snapper, Simplicity, Generac Portable Products LLC (not to be confused with Generac Power Systems the former owner of Generac Portable Products LLC) and some others that I just can't think of right now.

Not saying that Husqvarna is owned by MTD. I don't know if Husqvarna has a manufacturing plant in North America but I'll stick my neck out and say I doubt it. I'll also stick my neck out and say that it's very unlikely they are building their snow throwers in Sweden and shipping them to North America. What I'm saying is that Husqvarna is likely built by AYP or MTD or Murray or possibly another North American manufacturer. I know my Husqvara lawn tractor wasn't made in Sweden either. It was made in the U.S.A. by one of the above manufacturers.
Borat and any one else that doesn't know. Husqvarna is the world's largest producer of lawn mowers, chain saws and portable gas-powered garden equipment such as trimmers and blowers and one of the largest in garden tractors. The Group is also a world leader in diamond tools and cutting equipment for the construction and stone industries. And yes your Husqvarna lawn tractor was made in a Husqvarna owned USA plant. Husqvarna was part of the Electrolux Group in 2006 Electrolux divested itself of all of the outdoor power equipment group and Husqvarna Outdoor Products (HOP) was born. AYP doesn't even exist any more it was absorbed by HOP. Husqvarna owns in no particular order Jonserd, Flymo, Poulan, Weedeater, Dixon, Partner, Komatso Zenoah (Red Max), Blue Bird, Yazoo/Kees, Jenn Feng (McCulloch), Jikai (China, Diamond Products), Klippo (Sweden, Pro Lawnmowers), Gardena (Germany, lawn & garden products), Diarnant Boart and probably some that I don't know. As of 2006 Husqvarna had 14 major plants 7 in Europe, 5 in the USA, 1 in Brazil and 1 In China. With some new acquisitions there are probably more now.
