Certified Parts Corporation (CPC) was founded in 1976 by James Grafft to meet the
growing demand for obsolete replacement parts for outdoor recreational equipment.
CPC strives to maintain hard-to-find “New-Old” replacement parts for out of production
recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles, personal watercrafts, go-karts, mini cycles
and more.
In 2009, CPC purchased certain assets of TecumsehPower Company’s engine
business, including manufacturing equipment and dies along with their parts inventory.
Lauson Power Products, LLC was established to manage this part of the business and
bring back the historical name of the engine line dating back to 1895. This was followed
later that year with the acquisition of certain assets of Comet drives and Hoffco outdoor
power equipment, again, along with their parts inventory. CPC is now the original parts
source for these well-known brands.
In 2010, Lauson Power Products, LLC entered into an agreement with Liquid
Combustion Technologies (LCT) for the manufacture, sale and service support of
Lauson, Snow King and LCT branded engines. This partnership effectively reintroduces
the Snow King and Lauson brands to the marketplace. The distributor and
dealer network in place under TecumsehPower will provide service for all three brands
of engines.
