On Craftsman mowers, the model number is printed on the product ID label; for a walk-behind mower it’s typically on the mower deck or frame near the rear wheels or handle mounting area. For this page’s mower, the model number is 917370660 (shown in the 917370660 owner's manual).

Where to look on a walk-behind Craftsman mower

Check these common label locations (wipe off grass and dirt first):

• Top of the mower deck near the engine (often close to the recoil starter area)
• Rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
• Side of the deck near a rear wheel height adjuster
• Frame area where the handle brackets attach
• Under the rear door or near the grass bag opening

What to write down from the label

We recommend recording these items exactly as shown so you get the right parts (blade, drive cable, wheels, etc.):

• Model number (example: 917370660)
• Product number (sometimes listed as “P/N”)
• Serial number (helps identify production run)
• Engine model/type/code (on the Briggs & Stratton engine shroud)

Quick check: model number vs. engine number

The mower model number identifies the Craftsman mower; the engine numbers identify the engine. You often need both for tune-up and repair.

What you’re identifying	Where it’s found	What it’s used for
Mower model number (example: 917370660)	Mower deck/frame label	Mower parts like blade, drive system, handle parts
Engine model/type/code	Engine shroud label	Engine parts like spark plug, air filter, carburetor parts

Why it matters

Parts are model-specific. For example, this model’s parts list includes a 22-inch blade and drive components; using the correct model number helps match items like the husqvarna lawn mower 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825 and the correct control cables.

On a Craftsman walk-behind mower like model 917370660, the “parts” include the engine and controls (fuel, ignition, cables), the cutting system (deck, blade, discharge/mulch doors), and the drive and wheel hardware. Your 917370660 owner's manual shows the exact component list and diagrams for this mower.

Main lawn mower parts (what they do)

• Engine system: fuel tank, carburetor, air filter, muffler, recoil starter or electric start components
• Ignition and safety controls: spark plug, ignition coil, operator presence control bar, zone control cable
• Cutting system: mower deck (housing), blade, blade adapter, discharge chute/deflector, mulching door, rear door
• Drive system (self-propelled models): drive cable, V-belt, drive pulley, transmission/gear case, pawls/pinions
• Wheels and height adjustment: wheels, bearings, dust covers, height adjusters, knobs, springs, fasteners
• Grass handling: grass bag, grass bag frame, rear baffle

Model 917370660 examples you can actually replace

These are common, model-matched parts we see customers replace when performance drops or damage occurs:

Safety notes we follow before servicing

• Stop the engine and let moving parts fully stop before inspecting
• Never adjust wheel height with the engine running
• Wear gloves when handling the blade (it is sharp)
• Inspect the mower after striking an object; repair before restarting

On the Craftsman 917370660 gas walk-behind mower, the most common problems are no-start conditions (fuel, air, spark), loss of power from grass buildup under the deck, excessive vibration from a worn or loose blade, and self-propel drive issues caused by debris in the drive wheels or a worn drive cable. Use the 917370660 owner's manual troubleshooting chart to match symptoms to fixes.

Common problems and likely causes

• Won’t start: stale fuel, water in fuel, dirty air filter, spark plug wire disconnected, bad spark plug
• Loss of power: heavy grass load, cutting too low, dirty air filter, grass and debris packed under the deck
• Excessive vibration: worn or bent blade, loose blade bolt, broken blade adapter, bent crankshaft
• Hard to push or poor drive: drive wheels packed with clippings, belt wear, belt off pulley, worn or broken drive cable
• Starter rope hard to pull: control bar not held to the handle, blade dragging in grass

Quick checks we recommend first

• Drain old gas and refill with fresh gasoline if it sat 30+ days.
• Clean or replace the air filter.
• Hold the control bar fully against the handle before pulling the starter rope.
• Clean packed grass from under the mower deck.
• Inspect the blade for bends or cracks; tighten the blade bolt.

Problem-to-fix map

Symptom	Most common cause	First fix to try
Won’t start	Stale fuel, dirty air filter	Refresh fuel; service air filter
Loss of power	Deck packed with clippings	Clean underside of deck
Vibration	Bent or loose blade	Tighten bolt; replace blade
Won’t self-propel	Debris in drive wheels	Clean drive wheel area

Parts that often solve cutting and vibration complaints

A worn or bent blade causes poor cut quality and shaking. If replacement is needed, match the blade style and length to your mower’s parts list; one common option is the husqvarna lawn mower 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825.

Why it matters

Most “big” mower complaints come from basic maintenance: clean fuel, clean airflow, a clean deck, and a straight, tight blade. Fixing those first prevents hard starting, poor cutting, and extra wear on the drive system.

This model is a power-propelled rotary mower and is shown with a key start switch in the control layout; confirm the exact engine model, type, and code on the engine label and in the 917370660 owner's manual.

What “engine type” means for model 917370660

For walk-behind mowers, “engine type” usually includes the engine maker/series plus the exact engine identification used for service.

• Engine brand/series: Briggs & Stratton 675 Series
• Fuel: gasoline (E10, up to 10% ethanol, is acceptable)
• Mower style: rotary walk-behind
• Drive: power-propelled (self-propelled)
• Controls shown: operator presence control bar, key start switch

How to identify the exact engine model and code

Use the engine ID label so you get the correct tune-up and repair parts (spark plug, air filter, carburetor parts).

• Locate the Briggs & Stratton ID label on the engine shroud
• Record the model, type, and code exactly
• Match the control layout and safety labels to the manual illustrations
• Use the engine ID when ordering ignition and fuel-system parts

For the Craftsman lawn mower model 917370660, we recommend clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane (87 AKI). The owner’s manual also specifies that gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol (E10) is acceptable; higher ethanol blends can cause problems.

Fuel type and what to avoid

Use fuel that helps your Briggs & Stratton engine start easily and run smoothly.

• Use fresh unleaded gasoline, 87 AKI or higher
• Use E10 or less (up to 10% ethanol)
• Avoid E15, E20, E85 or any fuel over E10
• Avoid old or stale gas (especially gas stored for weeks or months)
• Avoid gas contaminated with water, dirt, or rust from a fuel can

For the exact wording and operating notes for your mower, check the 917370660 owner’s manual.

Quick reference table

Fuel item	What to use	Why
Octane rating	87 AKI minimum	Prevents poor running and hard starting
Ethanol content	Up to E10	Higher blends can damage fuel system parts
Fuel condition	Clean and fresh	Reduces carburetor and starting issues
Storage	Approved gas can, kept clean	Helps prevent rust and debris in fuel

If your mower won’t start after fueling

Stale or contaminated fuel is a top cause of no-start complaints on walk-behind mowers.

• Drain the tank and refill with fresh gasoline
• Check the air filter for heavy dirt buildup
• Make sure the spark plug wire is firmly connected
• If the blade hit something, inspect for a loose blade or damaged adapter
• Follow the starting steps and safety checks in the manual

Why it matters

Using the right gas protects the carburetor, fuel lines, and seals, and it prevents hard starting, surging, and stalling. Fresh E10 or less fuel also reduces the chance of varnish buildup during storage.
