QuestionJohn: I just acquired a Craftsman snowblower (8hp/26) model 459.52250 with a Tecumseh 8 hp motor made in 1982. I have contacted Sears looking for a parts source and they have none. I know that the first 3 digits (459) indicate the manufacturer of the unit but I cannot find a cross reference. It would be easier to contact a supplier of parts from the original manufacturer. Can you help identify who it was? My research to date is that it could be Murray, Noma, MTD but I cannot confirm. Thanks for your help.
