What model Craftsman do I have?
If you have a Craftsman front-engine lawn tractor, the model number is on the tractor’s ID label; for model 91725865, that label is typically under the seat or on the frame near the rear fender area. Once you match the full model number, you can order the correct parts for your tractor.
Where to look on a Craftsman riding tractor
Check these common ID-label locations first:
- Under the seat (lift the seat pan and look for a sticker or metal tag)
- On the frame rail near the rear wheels
- Near the rear fender or hitch plate area
- Under the hood on the chassis (less common)
- On the left or right side of the frame by the engine (varies by build)
What to write down (so parts match correctly)
Record the information exactly as shown on the label.
- Full model number (example: 91725865)
- Product number or “P/N” (if listed)
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Engine model and type (useful for engine-specific parts)
Quick check: model vs. serial
| Label item | What it tells you | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The tractor’s configuration | Ensures diagrams and parts lists match |
| Serial number | The production sequence | Helps avoid wrong revisions |
| Engine model/type | The engine family | Helps match ignition and starting parts |
Why it matters
Craftsman tractors often have similar-looking decks, wheels, and steering parts across multiple models. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong hardware or chassis parts, such as a bearing, washer, or starter component.
Parts you can match once you confirm the model
After you confirm your model number, you can cross-check common wear items from the parts list, such as the starter switch 583732501 or solenoid 532146154. For broader model searches and ordering, use Sears PartsDirect.

What year is Craftsman Model 917?
Craftsman model numbers that start with 917 identify the product family, not the build year. For your Craftsman front-engine lawn tractor model 91725865, the year is determined from the date code on the tractor’s ID tag, not from “917” itself; we use that code to read the year.
How to find the year on a Craftsman 91725865
Look for the product identification label (ID tag) on the frame, under the seat, or near the engine compartment. On many Craftsman riding mowers and tractors, the date code is a 6-digit number that reads as:
- First 2 digits: month (01 to 12)
- Next 2 digits: day (01 to 31)
- Last 2 digits: year (00 to 99)
If your date code is 072811, that decodes to July 28, 2011.
Quick date-code examples
| Date code | Decoded date | Year |
|---|---|---|
| 031506 | March 15, 2006 | 2006 |
| 072811 | July 28, 2011 | 2011 |
| 110219 | November 2, 2019 | 2019 |
Why the year matters (parts and repairs)
We use the correct build date and full model number 91725865 to match the right diagrams and replacement parts. Small changes by year can affect items like steering hardware, bearings, and electrical parts.
