Craftsman 917271552 lawn tractor Parts

Craftsman lawn tractor model 917271552 is commonly identified as an LT1000-series tractor from the early 1990s, with listings pointing to 1991 as the start of that run. For the most accurate confirmation, match your tractor’s product ID/serial information to the 917271552 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact year on your tractor

We recommend using the tractor’s ID information because model families can span multiple years.

• Locate the model/product ID label (often under the seat, on the frame near the rear fender, or near the engine compartment)
• Record the serial number and any date code shown
• Compare the model and serial details to the identification section in the manual
• If decals are original, note deck and hood decal styles as supporting clues
• Keep the engine model and type handy; engines can be swapped, but they help narrow timelines

What we can verify from the documentation

The documentation we have is clearly tied to this exact model number.

What we’re checking	What it tells you	What it does not tell you
Manual parts diagrams labeled “917.271552”	Confirms the model family and correct parts breakdown	The exact build month/year
Decal and chassis listings	Helps match original configuration	A definitive manufacture date

Why it matters

The build year affects parts compatibility (especially mower deck components, steering parts, and decals) and helps you choose the right maintenance specs. For example, the 42-inch deck parts shown for this model include items like the husqvarna lawn tractor mulching blade, 21-in 532134149, which you only want to order after confirming your deck configuration.

On the Craftsman lawn tractor model 917271552, the model and serial number label is typically on the tractor frame under the seat or on the underside of the seat. Use that serial number to match the correct parts list and the correct maintenance and adjustment procedures in the 917271552 owner's manual.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Park on a flat surface, set the parking brake, and remove the key.
• Lift the seat and look for a sticker or metal tag on the frame rails directly under the seat.
• Check the underside of the seat pan (some labels are placed there).
• Wipe dirt and grass off the label; use a flashlight to read faded print.
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.

What the numbers mean

Item on the label	What it’s used for	Example for this tractor
Model number	Identifies the tractor design and parts diagrams	917271552
Serial number	Identifies the production run; helps confirm correct part variations	Varies by unit

Why it matters

Craftsman tractors can share similar looks across years, but parts like a mower deck component, drive belt, or ignition key can vary by production run. Having the serial number helps us match the right diagrams and avoid ordering the wrong part.

If the label is missing or unreadable

• Check for a second label location near the rear fender area or frame crossmember.
• Look for the model number printed on the cover of the 917271552 owner's manual.
• If you’re replacing common wear items, match by diagram and measurements; for example, the mower deck for this model uses a 42-inch deck and commonly lists parts such as the husqvarna lawn tractor mulching blade, 21-in 532134149.

A “6.75” marking on a Craftsman mower is an engine size label, not a mower model number. The mower’s actual model number is printed on the product ID tag on the mower deck or frame; use that number to match the correct parts and manual (for example, this page’s manual is for Craftsman model 917271552).

How to find the mower model number (the one you need)

Look for a sticker or metal tag on the mower itself (not the engine cover). Common locations include:

• Rear of the mower deck near the discharge chute
• Top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• Handle bracket area (left or right side)
• Under a rear flap or cover on some self-propelled designs
• Frame rail area on some Craftsman walk-behind mowers

What “6.75” means (and why it is not enough)

“6.75” identifies an engine rating used across many different Craftsman walk-behind mowers. Different mower models can share the same engine size but use different blades, belts, wheels, and drive systems.

What to write down before ordering parts

Use this checklist to capture the details that prevent wrong-part orders:

• Full mower model number from the mower tag (often starts with 917.)
• Product number or serial number (if shown)
• Engine model and type code (from the engine label)
• Deck size (commonly 21-inch on many Craftsman walk-behind mowers)

You see this	It identifies	Example format
“6.75” on engine shroud	Engine size family	6.75
Model number on mower tag	Exact mower build	917.XXXXXX
Engine model/type code	Exact engine parts	28U707-XXXX-XX

Why it matters

Using the mower’s model number ensures the blade, blade adapter, drive belt, and self-propelled parts match your exact deck and drive system.

For model-number formatting and where Craftsman places ID labels on riding equipment, use the 917271552 owner’s manual.
