What model number is the Craftsman 917376460?
The model number is 917.376460 (commonly written without the dot as 917376460) for this Craftsman gas walk-behind rotary lawn mower. You can confirm it on the identification label and in the 917376460 owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on the mower
Most Craftsman walk-behind mowers list the model number on a sticker or plate on the mower housing.
- Check the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
- Look under the handle mounting area on the deck
- Check near the engine mounting area (on the deck, not the engine)
- If the label is dirty, wipe it with a damp rag and mild soap, then dry it
Model number vs. engine model number (common mix-up)
Your mower has a Briggs & Stratton engine, and the engine has its own model information. For parts and diagrams, we match by the mower model number first.
| What you’re reading | Example format | What it’s used for |
|---|---|---|
| Mower model number | 917.376460 (or 917376460) | Deck, wheels, drive system, handle parts |
| Engine model number | Briggs & Stratton series/model | Carburetor, ignition, engine-specific parts |
Why it matters
Using the correct model number ensures you get the right Craftsman walk-behind mower parts, such as the drive system and blade components, without ordering mismatched hardware.
Example model-matched parts for 917376460
- Lawn mower drive control cable 532407816 for self-propel engagement issues
- Lawn mower mulching blade 532406707 for a worn or bent 22-inch deck blade
- Lawn mower wheel dust cover 581840401 if a wheel hub is exposed or missing the cap

What model number is the Craftsman 917376460?
The model number is 917.376460; it identifies the Craftsman rotary, power-propelled 22-inch multi-cut mower shown on the cover of the 917376460 owner's manual. Use this exact number when ordering parts, looking up diagrams, or checking specifications.
Where to find the model number on the mower
We recommend confirming the number on the mower itself (not just the box or engine label). Common places include:
- The model tag or decal on the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
- The deck surface near the engine mounting area
- The handle bracket area (left or right side)
- The rear skirt area behind the wheels
Why the model number matters for parts
Craftsman walk-behind mowers can look similar across years, but parts can differ by model. Using 917.376460 helps match the correct diagrams and hardware.
Here are examples of parts that are model-matched to 917.376460:
- Lawn mower drive control cable 532407816 (drive control assembly and cable)
- Lawn mower mulching blade 532406707 (22-inch deck mulching blade)
- Lawn mower engine control cable 532183567 (zone control cable)
Quick ID check: mower model vs. engine model
The mower model number and the engine model number are different. Use the mower model for chassis, wheels, handle, and drive parts.
| What you are identifying | What to use | Example for this unit |
|---|---|---|
| Mower (Craftsman) | Mower model number | 917.376460 |
| Engine (Briggs & Stratton) | Engine model/type/code | Listed on the engine label |
Common mix-ups to avoid
- 917376460 is a walk-behind mower model number, not a riding mower model.
- A “T130” or other rider name refers to a different product line and will not match this parts list.

What year is Craftsman Model 917376460?
Craftsman model 917376460 is identified by its model number, not a built-in “year” code. For this mower, the most reliable way to confirm the manufacturing date is to use the engine identification (Briggs & Stratton) and the mower’s product ID/serial information as shown in the 917376460 owner's manual.
How to find the year on this mower
Use these checks in order; they work for most Craftsman walk-behind mowers:
- Check the engine label (Briggs & Stratton): look for the engine model, type, and code. The code is commonly used to determine the engine’s build date.
- Look for a product ID/serial tag on the mower (often on the rear of the deck, near the handle brackets, or on the side of the deck).
- Match the engine and mower numbers to the parts diagrams so you are decoding the correct unit (this avoids mixing up similar 917-series models).
- Use the manual’s identification sections and parts lists to confirm you are reading the correct model number and configuration.
Why “917” does not equal the year
Many Craftsman model numbers (including 917-series) are platform identifiers, not date codes. A video or chart that decodes a 6-digit number into month/day/year usually applies to a different style of identifier (often a serial or date code), not the full mower model number.
Quick reference: what to use for dating
| Identifier you have | Where to find it | Best for determining |
|---|---|---|
| Model number (917376460) | Mower tag, manual cover | Correct parts and diagrams |
| Engine code (Briggs & Stratton) | Engine shroud/label | Engine build date (often closest to mower build window) |
| Serial/product ID | Mower deck tag | Mower production run/date (when available) |
Why it matters
Knowing the correct year or production range helps us match the right blade, drive system parts, and control cables for your exact configuration. For example, the parts list for this model includes items like the lawn mower mulching blade 532406707, which must match your deck and adapter setup.

Where is Craftsman's model number?
On a Craftsman walk-behind mower, the model number is on the mower’s ID label (not on the engine label). For your mower, the model number you’ll use for most parts lookups is 917.376460; confirm the exact format in the 917376460 owner's manual.
Where to look on the mower
Check these common ID-label locations on walk-behind mowers like model 917376460:
- On the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
- On the back of the deck behind the engine
- On the side of the deck near a rear wheel
- On the handle support or handle bracket area
- Near the height-adjuster area on the deck
Mower model number vs. engine model number
Your mower has two different identifiers; using the right one prevents ordering the wrong parts.
| What you’re identifying | Where it’s found | What it’s used for |
|---|---|---|
| Mower model number (example: 917.376460) | Mower ID label on the deck/handle area | Wheels, blade, drive system, handle parts |
| Engine model/type/code | Stamped/printed on the engine shroud | Engine-specific parts like carburetor, ignition, air filter |
Why it matters
The mower model number ties to the exact deck, drive control, and wheel-adjuster design. For example, parts like the lawn mower drive control cable 532407816 are selected by mower model, not by the Briggs & Stratton engine number.
Quick tip for reading the label
- Write the model number exactly as shown, including dots and dashes.
- If the label is dirty, wipe it with a damp rag; avoid scraping so the print stays readable.
