Where to confirm the model number on the mower

• On the rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
• On the handle support area (lower handle brackets)
• Near the engine mounting area on the deck
• On the model and serial tag (may include a date code)

Both formats refer to the same mower; the dot is a formatting style used on some Craftsman labels and manuals.

Craftsman model 917376536 is identified by its model number, and the year is not encoded in that model number. To find the manufacturing year, we use the mower’s product ID/serial number label and match it to the date information shown in the 917376536 owner's manual.

Where to find the date information

On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like 917376536, the build date is typically tied to the product ID/serial number tag, not the model number.

Check these common locations:

• Rear of the deck near the discharge opening
• Top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• Rear skirt area (behind the bagging door)
• Handle bracket area near the lower handle mounts

How to decode what you find

Once you locate the tag, write down:

• The serial number (letters and numbers)
• Any date code printed separately
• The engine model/type/code (if listed on the Briggs & Stratton engine label)

Quick guide (what usually means what)

What you see	What it tells you	What to do next
Model number (917376536)	Identifies the mower design and parts list	Use it to order parts and view diagrams
Serial number / product ID	Identifies the specific unit	Use it to determine build date
Engine code	Often includes an engine build date	Compare to mower tag date for confirmation

Why it matters

The correct year helps us match the right parts configuration (deck, drive system, controls) when there were mid-year changes. It also prevents ordering the wrong blade, belt, or drive components for your exact build.

Parts that commonly vary by build date

• Blade and blade hardware (blade bolt, locknut)
• Drive belt length and belt guides
• Wheel and pinion style
• Control cable routing and handle hardware

If you are replacing wear items, match by model and diagram first; for example, the husqvarna lawn mower 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825 is a common blade listing for this model.
