The address of the Penn-Craft Community Association Inc is: 120 Factory Road, East Millsboro, PA 15433-1266
I have a 1427 Penncraft, the manufacturers tag under the seat has the model number along with a second number, 1959, this may very well be the year this model was sold by JC Penney
sold by j.c.penney made by modern tool & die. which is now MTD.
JCPenney still honors this warranty. Most associates are not aware of these products and they will probably need to research the procedures for processing the reimbursement, but the company still recognizes the warranty. For this reason, it may be wise to call in advance. What you will need to do is purchase the same tool from a different manufacturer and bring the receipt in to a Penney's location. From there, they will reimburse you the cost of the new tool.
