Craftsman 917370620 lawn mower Parts

For a Craftsman walk-behind mower, the model number is printed on the mower’s ID label, typically on the deck housing or frame. For your mower, the correct model format looks like 917.370620 (also shown as 917370620 on parts listings); match that number exactly when ordering parts.

Check these common spots first (wipe off grass and dirt so the label is readable):

• Top of the mower deck near the engine
• Rear of the deck near the bagging or discharge area
• Side of the deck by a rear wheel height adjuster
• Handle support brackets or frame rails
• Under the rear door area (near the discharge chute door)

If the label is missing, the illustrated parts list in the 917370620 owner's manual can help you confirm you have the right mower family and assemblies.

Record the information exactly as shown on the label.

• Model number (example: 917.370620)
• Product number (if listed)
• Engine brand and series (this mower uses a Briggs & Stratton 675 Series engine)
• Any revision letters or additional digits on the tag

Example: if you need a blade for this mower, the parts listing may show the lawn mower 22-in deck 3-in-1 blade 532420463.

Craftsman model numbers control fit and compatibility for key items like the blade, drive control cable, wheels, and transmission. One digit off can mean the wrong deck parts, wrong belt routing, or mismatched handle controls.

The Craftsman model 917.370620 is a 22-inch walk-behind rotary lawn mower, not a 42-inch riding mower. For this Sears PartsDirect page, the correct model number is 917370620; you can confirm the model/serial decal location and specs in the 917370620 owner's manual.

We recommend matching the model number on the mower’s decal to the format used on parts diagrams.

• Look for a decal on the rear of the mower housing (common location for this model)
• Record both the model number and serial number
• Match the number exactly, including any dots or dashes on the decal
• Use the model number to pull the correct parts list for your exact configuration

If you are shopping for parts, these identifiers help prevent ordering the wrong blade, cable, or wheel.

The 917370620 documentation and diagrams list walk-behind components such as a 22-inch blade and control cables.

• Lawn mower 22-in deck 3-in-1 blade 532420463 (walk-behind blade size)
• Drive control cable and drive pulley style components
• Rear door, grass bag frame, and clipping deflector parts typical of a push mower

A 42-inch riding mower uses a completely different deck, belt routing, and spindle system than a 22-inch walk-behind mower. Using the correct model number (917370620) ensures the right Craftsman parts fit and install correctly.

Craftsman model 917370620 is a model number, not a date code; it does not directly tell the year. To find the year, we use the mower’s product identification label (often on the deck or rear housing) and match its date or serial information using the owner's manual.

Use these quick checks on the mower itself:

• Look for a product ID label on the mower deck, rear skirt area, or near the handle mounting points.
• Record the serial number and any date code printed on that label.
• Check the engine label (Briggs & Stratton) for an engine model/type/code; the engine code often includes a build date.
• Compare what you find to the identification and service info in the 917370620 owner's manual.
• If the label is missing or unreadable, use the mower’s parts configuration (handle style, drive system, deck components) to narrow it down.

Capture these items before you start ordering parts or looking up specs:

• Mower model number: 917370620
• Serial number (from the mower ID label)
• Engine brand and numbers (Briggs & Stratton model/type/code)
• Deck size (this model is a 22-inch multi-cut deck per the manual)
• Whether it is power-propelled (this model is power-propelled)

Model numbers, part numbers, and date codes look similar but mean different things.

The build year affects small but important fit details, especially on drive and handle components. For example, the correct blade and hardware must match the deck and adapter setup; using the wrong blade can cause poor cut quality and vibration. If you are replacing the blade, the lawn mower 22-in deck 3-in-1 blade 532420463 is the model-matched blade listed for 917370620.
