I read somewhere that there is a code to decipher who makes what for sears.
Any idea where to find it. I tried Google, no luck?

Sears Roebuck & Company
LISTING OF SOURCES BY SOURCE NUMBER
For many products, Sears Roebuck used the first three numbers of the Model
Number (usually followed by a decimal point) to indicate the actual
manufacturer of the product. For instance 500.49828 is an engine built by
Briggs & Stratton. The following is a partial list of such numbers. Any
additions to the list would be appreciated.
(Note) Many Thanks to Ronald Hasselback, James B. Ricci, and other's for
supplying us with source codes and links.
