You will know it is Chinese made when you open the box and find a "fortune cookie" in side....LOL

In all seriousness, if the American buying public were not to buy or stop buying these products, the foreign products won't appear here. A general rule of business is not to sell something there is no demand for. That would be the loudest bell for Manufacturer's to hear. If you can figure a way to accomplish that, then the problem will be solved.

Well good luck, it seems that all of the American Manufacturers are farming all of the work to other countries. If you will do some checking B&S went to doing this several years ago. The only truly American Made Motor nowadays is the Kohler. God Bless American Made Products and the Companies that make them.

David,
Don't wanna bust your bubble, but some of the Kohler engines are made by Yamaha, the only true American made engine I am aware of is Tecumseh, and they could be part foreign, I don't know. I know Briggs is using Diahatsu in their line up of engines.

Not just in Tractors and engines. And it"s not the complete fault of the consumer. Our Fed government and CEO"s of MOST manufacturers have been selling us down the river for decades. Look at GM. It has been shrinking since the 70"s. Their executives continue to get astounding raises and bonus"s for their "success". Corporate cost-cutting is now considered success, instead of growing and expanding the business. I remember the first Honda coup...it was laughed at!! Who"s laughing now, as Toyota and other asian mfr"s get closer to squeezing out the US automakers. (end of rant)
