Craftsman Lawn Mower 247370371 FAQs

For a Craftsman walk-behind mower like model 247370371, the serial number is typically used to identify the manufacturing date and production run; you will usually find it on a sticker or stamped tag on the deck or rear housing. Use the format guidance in the 247370371 owner's manual to match the serial number style used on your exact mower.

Where to find the serial number on a walk-behind mower

Look in these common locations (clean the area first so the label is readable):

  • Top of the mower deck near the engine mounting area
  • Rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
  • On the rear housing behind the engine
  • On the handle bracket area (lower handle mounts)
  • Near the wheel height adjuster area
How to interpret the serial number (what to look for)

Craftsman serial numbers are not all identical across every production year and manufacturer, so the most reliable approach is to identify the pattern your tag uses, then decode it.

Typical date-code patterns you may see:

  • 6-digit date code (often MMDDYY): month, day, year
  • 4-digit date code (often MMYY): month and year
  • Letter plus numbers: a plant or line code plus a date segment
Quick example table (common 6-digit format)
Serial/date segment Meaning Example result
First 2 digits Month 07 = July
Next 2 digits Day 28 = 28th
Last 2 digits Year 11 = 2011
Why it matters

Reading the serial number correctly helps us match the right parts and diagrams for your mower, especially when there are mid-year changes to items like the deck, handle hardware, or bagging components.

Tips before ordering parts
  • Write down both the model number (247370371) and the full serial number
  • Take a clear photo of the tag for reference
  • If the label is damaged, check for a stamped number on the deck
  • Use the model number to confirm fit for common items like a grass bag (example: part number 964-04154) or a mulching blade (example: part number 942-0741A)

Gas walk-behind mowers like the Craftsman 247370371 are not being “phased out” everywhere at once; what’s happening is a patchwork of state and local rules that restrict certain new gasoline-powered outdoor equipment sales or use. For your mower, the practical impact is maintenance, parts availability, and local compliance, not an automatic end date. See the 247370371 owner's manual for operating and safety guidance.

What’s changing (and what isn’t)
  • Some areas restrict new sales of certain gas-powered lawn equipment.
  • Some areas restrict use in specific settings (noise or emissions rules).
  • Many places have no restrictions beyond standard noise ordinances.
  • Existing gas mowers are commonly still used; rules often focus on new equipment.
  • Parts and service remain available for many models, including common wear items.
How to decide what to do with your Craftsman 247370371

Use this quick checklist before you replace anything:

  • Check your city and state rules for outdoor power equipment.
  • If your mower runs well, plan a tune-up (spark plug, air filter, fresh fuel).
  • If cutting quality is poor, inspect the blade and adapter.
  • If bagging is your priority, confirm your bag and frame are intact.
  • If you want lower maintenance, compare gas vs battery based on yard size.
Common parts that keep a gas mower working well

These are typical wear or damage items for this model family:

Need What to inspect Example part for this model
Better bagging Bag condition, frame fit Lawn Mower Grass Bag 964-04154

Better cut Blade edge, bends, balance Craftsman Troybilt Lawn Mower 21-in Deck Mulching Blade 942-0741A
Why it matters

Local restrictions can affect what you can buy next, but your mower’s reliability still comes down to basics: sharp blade, clean deck, good fuel, and intact safety controls. Staying on top of maintenance helps you avoid hard starts, stalling, and poor cut quality.
