How to find Craftsman model number?
On the Craftsman riding lawn tractor model 247288810, the model number is typically printed on the product ID label on the frame under the seat (often easiest to see with the seat tipped forward). Use that exact number when ordering parts and checking specifications in the 247288810 operator’s manual.
Where to look on the tractor
Check these common label locations first:
- Frame rail directly under the seat pan
- Underside of the seat (flip the seat up and look underneath)
- Rear frame area near the hitch plate (some units place the label nearby)
- Fender pan area under the seat mounting points
What to write down (and why)
We recommend copying the full ID information exactly as shown:
- Model number (for this page: 247288810)
- Serial number (helps match production changes)
- Any date code or additional numbers on the same label
Why it matters
Small design changes can affect belts, pulleys, and deck hardware. Using the correct model and serial helps you match the right diagrams and avoid ordering a part that looks similar but fits differently.
Quick ID checklist
Use this as a fast confirmation before you shop:
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example for this tractor |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finds the correct parts breakdown | 247288810 |
| Serial number | Confirms exact build version | Varies by unit |
| Engine model (if listed) | Helps with engine-specific parts | Varies by engine |
After you find the model number
Once you confirm the model number, match parts by description and function. For example, if you are troubleshooting mowing issues, common wear items include the deck belt and engagement components.
- Deck drive issues: inspect the belt for glazing, cracking, or stretching
- Uneven cut: check deck level and spindle/mandrel condition
- Slipping or squealing: check idler pulley condition and belt routing
