Craftsman model 917371722 is not identified by a single “model-year” in the documentation; instead, the year is typically determined from the mower’s product ID or date code on the unit. Use the date-code directions in the 917371722 owner's manual to locate the correct identification label and confirm the year.

Where to find the date information on the mower

On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like 917371722, the most reliable way to date the unit is to read the identification label on the mower (not the parts list pages).

• Check the mower deck near the rear discharge area and rear wheels
• Check the handle support area where the upper and lower handle mount
• Look for a sticker or stamped tag with a product number, serial, or date code
• Write the full code exactly as shown before decoding it
• If the label is damaged, clean the area gently and re-check under good light

How to decode it (common Craftsman format)

Many Craftsman/Husqvarna-built products use a 6-digit date code format that reads as MMDDYY (month, day, year). When your mower has that style of code, the last two digits are the year.

Example code	Interprets as	Year
072811	July 28, 2011	2011
031915	March 19, 2015	2015

Why it matters

Knowing the correct year helps us match the right parts and diagrams for your exact build, especially for wear items like the drive system, wheel adjusters, and blade. For example, the parts list for this model includes items such as the lawn mower drive control cable 532407816 and the 21-inch blade listed in the manual’s parts breakdown.
