Craftsman 917270630 tractor Parts

The Craftsman riding mower model 917270630 uses a Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder engine, specifically engine model 28U707 (type 1174-E1). For the exact engine identification details and service specs for your tractor, use the owner's manual.

We recommend matching the manual listing to the engine ID label on the engine shroud or valve cover area.

• Look for Briggs & Stratton branding on the engine
• Find the model number stamped/printed on the engine (should read 28U707)
• Record the type number (should read 1174-E1)
• Use those numbers when ordering engine parts (carburetor parts, starter parts, ignition parts)
• Keep the tractor model number 917270630 handy for chassis and deck parts

These specs are listed for this tractor and help with tune-ups and routine service.

Using the correct Briggs & Stratton engine model and type number helps you get the right internal engine parts and settings (like spark plug, carburetor components, and starter parts). Using the tractor model number helps you match external systems like the mower deck, belts, and steering.

If the engine clicks or cranks inconsistently, one common electrical wear item is the starter solenoid.

• Solenoid 532146154 (starter solenoid)
• Battery connections and ground cable condition
• Fuse and ignition switch connections

The model number is 917270630. On this Craftsman front-engine lawn tractor, the model number is shown in the owner's manual and is used to match the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts for your exact tractor.

We typically see the model number on an ID label or plate on the tractor frame. Common spots include:

• Under the seat (seat pan area)
• On the rear fender or near the hitch plate
• Along the frame rail near the engine compartment
• Near the steering column or dash support

Craftsman tractors can look similar across multiple model series, but parts can differ by deck design, steering, and drive system. Using 917270630 helps ensure you get the right items, such as:

• Mower deck parts like the husqvarna lawn tractor mulching blade, 21-in 532134149
• Belt-driven components like the lawn tractor drive belt 532144200
• Starting system parts like the solenoid 532146154

Ordering by the correct model number prevents common fit issues, like buying the wrong deck belt length or the wrong mandrel style for your mower deck.

The Craftsman model 917.270630 is a specific riding lawn tractor model number, but the exact build year is determined by the serial number date code on your tractor. Use the date-code method in the owner's manual and the serial tag on the tractor to identify the year it was manufactured.

Look for the model and serial number label (commonly under the seat, on the frame near the rear wheels, or under the hood). Then use the serial number to decode the manufacture date.

• Confirm the model number reads 917.270630 (sometimes shown as 917270630).
• Write down the serial number exactly as printed.
• Check for a date code embedded in the serial number.
• Compare what you find to the identification guidance in the owner's manual.
• If the label is damaged, clean it gently and use a flashlight to read stamped characters.

The model number 917.270630 identifies the tractor family and configuration (Craftsman riding mower platform), but it does not reliably encode a single model year by itself. The serial number is what ties your unit to a specific production date.

Knowing the correct year helps us match the right parts and diagrams for your Craftsman tractor, especially for wear items like the mower deck drive system and blades. For example, this model’s parts list includes items such as the lawn tractor drive belt 532144200 and the husqvarna lawn tractor mulching blade, 21-in 532134149, which must match your deck and configuration.

On the Craftsman front-engine lawn tractor model 917270630, the model number is printed on the product identification label on the tractor (commonly under the seat area or on the frame). For the exact label location and what the tag looks like, use the owner's manual.

Check these common ID-label spots first:

• On the frame rail near the engine compartment
• Near the rear fender or footrest area
• Around the mower deck lift area (on the tractor frame, not the deck)

The identification label typically includes several fields. Use the model number to match parts and diagrams.

We use the model number to match the correct Craftsman parts breakdown for your riding mower, including deck parts (blade, mandrel), drive components (belt, pulleys), and steering or electrical parts. Using the wrong model number can lead to ordering parts that do not fit.

• Wipe dirt and grass dust off the label so the numbers are clear
• Write the model number exactly as shown (all digits)
• If the label is damaged, compare the tractor’s key features (deck size, transmission type) to the specs listed in the owner's manual
