How to look up Craftsman model number?
To look up the correct parts for your Craftsman sleeve hitch model 757252313, first find the model number on the product’s ID label, then enter that exact number when searching parts. On many Craftsman riding tractors, the label is under the seat; on push mowers it’s commonly on the frame.
Where to find the model number label
Check these common locations first:
- Under the seat (many riding tractors)
- On the frame near the engine or rear axle area
- Near the hitch or attachment mounting point (some attachments)
- On the mower deck shell (some tractor setups)
- On the handle/frame tube (many walk-behind mowers)
How to use the model number to get the right parts
Once you find the label, use these tips so you get an exact match:
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (including dashes or extra digits)
- Use the model number (not the engine number) when searching
- If the label includes a serial number, keep it for reference but search by model first
- Match the product type: this page is for a lawn tractor attachment (sleeve hitch)
Quick checklist
| What you see on the label | What to do |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 757252313) | Use it to look up the parts list for your attachment |
| Serial number | Save it for reference; it usually is not required for parts lookup |
| Engine model/type | Do not use it for attachment parts; it’s for engine parts |

What is a sleeve hitch?
A sleeve hitch on your Craftsman 757252313 is a rear hitch system that lets a lawn or garden tractor pull and lift certain ground-engaging attachments (like small plows, cultivators, or box scrapers) using a single-point style connection. It is a common, simpler alternative to a full 3-point hitch.
How a sleeve hitch works
A sleeve hitch typically uses a rigid drawbar-style connection plus a lift linkage so the tractor can raise and lower the attachment.
Key features you will usually see:
- A single connection point where the implement “sleeves” onto the hitch
- A hitch pin and retaining clip to secure the attachment
- A lift arm or rockshaft linkage to raise and lower the implement
- A fixed geometry that keeps the attachment aligned behind the tractor
What you can attach (and what you cannot)
Sleeve hitches are designed for lighter-duty, tractor-sized implements.
Common sleeve hitch attachments:
- Moldboard plow
- Cultivator
- Disc harrow (light duty)
- Box scraper or grader blade (sleeve-hitch style)
Not a match for:
- Category 0/1 3-point implements (unless you have a specific adapter)
- Heavy ground-engaging tools that exceed the tractor’s traction and lift capacity
Parts that matter for a secure hookup
A secure connection depends on using the correct pin and keeping the holes from wallowing out.
| Item | What it does | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch pin | Secures the implement to the hitch | Correct diameter and usable length |
| Retainer/clip | Keeps the pin from backing out | Fits tightly, not bent |
| Hitch/implement holes | Maintains alignment | Not elongated or cracked |
For this model, a common wear item is the hitch pin, 2-pack 596919601.
Why it matters
Using the right hitch style prevents poor tracking, pin shear, and unsafe disconnects when you hit roots, ruts, or hard soil. A properly pinned sleeve hitch also helps the attachment run level so it digs evenly.

How do I identify my Craftsman riding mower?
To identify your Craftsman riding mower, we match parts using the model number and product identification label. For Craftsman model 757252313 (a sleeve hitch attachment), confirm the mower’s model and serial tag on the tractor, then use that exact model number when selecting attachment parts.
Where to look for the model number on a Craftsman riding mower
Most Craftsman riding mowers have an ID label in one of these common spots:
- Under the seat (often on the underside of the seat or on the seat pan)
- On the frame near the rear fender or seat support
- Under the hood near the engine compartment
- On the left or right side of the tractor frame rail
What to write down (so parts match the first time)
Record the information exactly as shown on the label:
- Model number (letters and numbers, in order)
- Serial number
- Product number (if listed)
- Any prefix/suffix characters
Quick check: mower vs. attachment model numbers
Use this table to avoid mixing up IDs.
| Item you’re identifying | What the label usually says | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Riding mower (tractor) | Mower model and serial | Ensures the tractor-specific parts fit |
| Attachment (sleeve hitch) | Attachment model like 757252313 | Ensures pins, brackets, and hardware match the hitch |
Why it matters
Craftsman attachments like a sleeve hitch rely on correct hardware sizing and mounting points. Using the exact mower model number helps us match the right hitch components and prevents fit issues during installation.
