The Price is Right?

[Willy 2]

I just did a little checking for Arbor housings:

What I found was Snapper Murray and Simplicity

all use the same arbor housing.

Every thing is the same except the price. All three use

Part # 1713338 A S M Bottom half 1655729 A S M.

----------Bottom--Top

Simplicity--$25.--10.29

Snapper---$17.----8.88

Murray----$12.97--8.97

It pays to check things out.

Great catch! Couldn't agree more. Pays to do some checking. Amazing what you find and how much the price can vary.

So what you're saying is Simplicity uses MTD parts now!

Briggs owns Simplicity, Murray and Snapper. Has nothing to do with MTD.

Is this the housing or the bearings?

At Jacks they are basically the same price through all brands, except the Murray bottom half is 15 cents cheaper.

The spindle shafts are listed as a Murray part as well. Same side by side. Industries often cross source parts that they don't want to tool on thier own(or are to cumbersome to do so).
