I needed one $24 part in twelve years of ownership. I could have sourced the part from several companies.
It seems like a goid compromise between purchase price and longevity.

The Craftsman mowers are typically made by MTD. Some of the more recent years have had a couple of models made by Husqvarna for higher-end units.
Keep in mind too that "Craftsman" is just a brand, there is no Craftsman factory, Sears outsources all the manufacturing to various 3rd parties. Your "Craftsman" mower of 8 years ago could be TOTALLY different than what is in the store this year for a multitude of reasons. Just saying, do your homework based on what is in stores NOW, not what your cousin bought a decade ago.
