Made by West Bend, which later became Chrysler. For any further information, we need the model number off the plate on the engine. Parts are going to be tough to find, but some are available.

Give us the model number and we can give you the year, etc., and maybe some help in finding stuff.

You're right. McCullough it is. I clicked the link but didn't read it closely enough. Still hard to find parts.
