Next to last sentence.
"MTD Products wants to mow down its foes. The outdoor power equipment manufacturer makes walk-behind and tractor mowers, snow throwers, edgers, and tillers under the Cub Cadet, White Outdoor, Yard-Man, and Yard Machines brands. Its Cub Cadet line is aimed at landscapers. In
2001 MTD bought the Troy-Bilt tiller and mower business from Garden Way, which filed for bankruptcy. MTD was formed in 1932 by German immigrants Theo Moll, Emil Jochum, and Erwin Gerhard as the *Modern Tool and Die Company*. The Moll family, including CEO Curtis Moll, owns MTD".

20 plus years before he passed away. He was a great man, and even still worked on Saturdays at 80+ years old. A real hands on guy.On 11/28/2004 9:16 AM US(ET), Steveo took fingers to keys, and typed the following:
