Craftsman is a leading brand in the lawn mower industry. As of 2018, Craftsman lawn mowers are made by MTD in Ohio, USA. There are many Craftsman mower and tractor models made by MTD, and others previously by Husqvarna.
Craftsman, whose parent company used to be Sears, now Stanley Black & Decker since 2017, has never had the factories to produce their own equipment so they have enlisted trusted builders in the industry to work with to make their own line of outdoor equipment including the mowers and tractors you see in Sears and other retailers across North America.
Background Information About Craftsman

Craftsman products have been exchanged with makers several times over the years. From 2006 to 2017, Craftsman products were made by Husqvarna, which was until then known as AYP. Husqvarna made the 917 model number at the Orangeburg plant.
Craftsman was acquired by Stanley Black & Decker in 2017 for $900MM, and thus from 2018, Craftsman lawn tractors, garden, and yard tractors started being assembled by MTD in plants located in Parma, Ohio, US with various parts that are made from around the world.

Craftsman products have since gone on to be outstanding and state-of-the-art products engineered to last.

Some of the Craftsman stand-out specifications include:
Craftsman lawn mowers have a Smooth Start technology which eliminates the inconveniences of getting the mower started by a rate of 20%.
Craftsman also offers a range of self-propelled mowers. Craftsman has mowers to suit all these needs, whether you need a powerful mower for a large and hilly terrain or a less powerful lawn mower for flat terrain. Additionally, Craftsman mowers are designed to allow effortless adjustment.
To this end, they have an easy glide height adjuster. They also come with a bag window that allows you to see when it is full. This eliminates the doubts of whether it is full or not. Rear-wheel drive makes the mowers tough on rough and hilly terrain.
Craftsman mowers also come with easy bag handling. To prevent grass buildup, which improves cutting performance, Craftsman mowers have a Z deck wash system that connects to the garden hose for easy cleaning. The mowers have a rear-door interlock system. This enables fast removal and installation, which is important to get you back to mowing the lawn.
