Craftsman 917377593 rotary lawn mower Parts

Your Craftsman rotary lawn mower model 917377593 age is determined by decoding the date code embedded in the serial number on the mower’s ID label. On many walk-behind mowers, the build date is shown as a year and week or a month and year; we use the format on your label to pinpoint the manufacture date.

Where to find the serial number on model 917377593

Check the mower’s product ID label first; it is commonly located:

• On the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
• On the top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• On the handle support or height-adjuster area
• Near the wheel bracket or axle area

For label location diagrams and identification details, use the 917377593 owner's manual.

How to decode common mower serial number date formats

Serial numbers vary by manufacturer and engine supplier, but these are the most common patterns we see on walk-behind mowers:

• YYWW: year + week of year (example: 2315 = week 15 of 2023)
• YYMM: year + month (example: 2207 = July 2022)
• MMYY: month + year (example: 0722 = July 2022)
• MMDDYY or YYMMDD: full numeric date (example: 041523 = April 15, 2023)

Quick decode table

Code style	What it means	What you get
YYWW	Year + week	Approximate build week
YYMM / MMYY	Year + month	Build month
MMDDYY / YYMMDD	Full date	Exact build date

Tips to avoid misreading the code

• Look for a separate “DOM” (date of manufacture) line on the label
• Ignore letters that indicate plant, line, or revision
• If the mower has an engine label (Briggs & Stratton, etc.), the engine date can differ from the mower build date

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacture date helps us match the correct Craftsman parts and hardware revisions for your mower, especially for wear items like the lawn mower mulching blade 532406713 and drive components.

On a Craftsman walk-behind mower like model 917377593, the model number is typically on the mower’s ID label or stamped plate on the deck or rear housing, not on the engine. Use the model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams in the 917377593 owner’s manual.

Look for a sticker, decal, or metal tag in these spots:

• Rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
• Top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• Back panel behind the engine (near the handle brackets)
• Side of the deck near a wheel height adjuster
• Under the rear bagger door (if your mower uses a grass bag)

Model number vs. engine numbers (why both matter)

Your mower has two different identifiers; they are used for different parts.

What you’re looking at	What it identifies	Used to find
Mower model number (example: 917377593)	The mower chassis and drive system	Deck parts, wheels, height adjusters, self-propel components
Engine model/type/code	The engine itself	Carburetor, ignition parts, air filter, recoil starter

Why it matters

Using the mower model number (917377593) keeps you from ordering the wrong blade, belt, or drive parts. For example, the correct blade and drive components are selected by mower model, such as the lawn mower mulching blade 532406713 and the belt 532157769 when applicable.

Quick tips to read the label correctly

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits).
• If the label is worn, wipe it clean and use a flashlight at an angle.
• Record any product number or serial number listed; it helps confirm the exact build.
