Why Can't I Download A Users Manual For The 88957 Snowblower?
My neighbor and I bought a Craftsman 88957 snowblower together and he lost the owners manual. I've looked online to download a free owners manual, but can't find one. Is there a Craftsman or Sears site where I can get a free download of the owners manual? If not, why not?
