Go to http://www.husqvarna.com/
Check out the brands Same machines with cosmetic differences
I just bought the craftsman with the twin cylinder hp Briggs
I wouldn't buy anything but a twin not for the power but for the smoothness
when its running
They all should be checked thourghly when you buy them
for adjustments Mine needed help I suspect they all do.
I have made several personal mods to mine to make it work for me not some
engineer or bean counter or safety engineer
Better hitch for my track vac and a by pass switch for the safety seat for
when I'm using my yard cart to pick up sticks and leaves NOT WHEN MOWING

The bulk of Craftsman Mowers/Tractors are made by Husqvarna, AB.
Formerly Electrolux/AYP/American Yard Products/Roper. Sears is also
their largest customer.

In this case, "536" is a probably a Simplicity (former)Murray product by
Briggs & Stratton. The mower in the link is an easily recognized Murray
unit. Murray Ohio inherited 536 from AMF, AMF inherited it from Western
Tool & Stamping.

Murray has gone out of business(acquired by Briggs & Stratton in 2005)
and the tooling for this mower is likely being used by B&S as part of
their Simplicity division offerings(maybe just to large accounts like
Sears).
