    Craftsman tractors?

    yes, MTD does make the majority of lawn mowers any more, but not craftsman. I think they did in the past, but Husqvarna makes them now. I just bought a Husqvarna 24hp 54" cut for $1900. seems to be well built, the deck is much thicker steel than any of the other mowers in comparable price...

    How are all of the Menards Masterforce tool boxes holding up?

    If I am not mistaken, (I may be, but don't think so) they are the same boxes as the "Husky" brand offered at home depot. have looked at them both, same dimensions, same features, same construction, just the Husky ones are a bit higher priced I haven't bought one (yet) but have drooled over them
