Where can I find my lawn mower engine model number?
On the Craftsman 247204113, the engine model number is printed on an engine ID label (or stamped tag) mounted directly on the engine, not on the mower deck. You’ll typically find it on the blower housing/shroud, near the muffler, or near the spark plug area; confirm the exact label locations in the 247204113 operator’s manual.
Where to look on the engine (most common spots)
Check these areas with the engine cool and the key removed:
- On the engine shroud/blower housing (often on top or on the side)
- On the sheet metal near the muffler or exhaust outlet
- Near the spark plug area (look for a small foil label or stamped plate)
- Around the recoil starter housing (if your engine uses one)
- Under a removable engine cover/shroud (if equipped)
What to write down (so you get the right parts)
We recommend recording all of the following exactly as shown:
- Engine model number
- Engine type/spec number (common on Briggs & Stratton and Kohler)
- Engine code/date number (helps match carburetor and ignition parts)
- Engine serial number
Quick ID guide
Use this as a simple checklist when you find the label.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Engine model | Identifies the engine family | Model + letters/numbers |
| Spec/type | Narrows down exact build | “SPEC” or “TYPE” |
| Code/date | Production date/version | Long numeric code |
| Serial | Unique engine identifier | Serial number |
Why it matters
Your Craftsman 247204113 model number identifies the mower chassis, but the engine model number identifies the engine itself. Many tune-up and fuel-system parts are engine-specific, so having the engine ID prevents ordering the wrong component.

Where can I find the Craftsman riding mower model number?
On the Craftsman riding mower model 247204113, the model number is typically printed on the product identification label located under the seat. Lift the seat and look for a label on the seat pan or the frame directly beneath it.
Where to look on model 247204113
Check these common label locations first:
- Underside of the seat (seat pan)
- Frame directly under the seat
- Rear frame area near the transmission
- Left or right side of the seat box area
- Near the engine compartment on a fixed frame rail
What the label should show
Most ID labels include more than just the model number. Look for:
- Model number: 247204113 (may include punctuation on the label)
- Serial number: unique to your mower
- Manufacturing date code (varies by production run)
- Engine information (sometimes listed separately)
| What you need | Why you need it | Where it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Confirms the exact mower version | Parts lookup, diagrams, manuals |
| Serial number | Identifies production run details | Service bulletins, correct revisions |
| Engine model | Identifies the engine itself | Engine tune-up parts, engine manual |
If the label is missing or unreadable
If the label is damaged, we recommend:
- Checking for a second label on the frame under the seat area
- Looking for a decal-style ID label that may be on the seat box
- Replacing missing safety/ID decals if needed (some models use multiple decals)
For model-specific diagrams and identification references, use the 247204113 operator’s manual.
Why it matters
Using the correct model number helps us match the right Craftsman parts (like belts, blades, switches, and decals) to your exact mower configuration so you avoid ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit.

What kind of engine does a Craftsman riding lawn mower have?
For Craftsman model 247204113, the operator’s manual we have is a Z6000-series manual that covers multiple model numbers and does not list a single, specific engine make, displacement, or horsepower for every unit. Use the engine ID label on your mower and the 247204113 operator’s manual to confirm the correct engine details for your exact machine.
How to identify the engine on model 247204113
Look for the engine model and spec information on the engine itself:
- Engine shroud/top cover label (often shows model, type, and code)
- Valve cover or blower housing sticker
- Engine block stamping near the starter or muffler area
- Emissions label on the engine (may list displacement and family)
- Separate engine operator’s manual that came with the mower
What we can confirm from the model 247204113 manual
Even though it doesn’t pin down one engine spec, the manual does provide engine-related operating guidance, including:
- Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane
- Do not use E85 fuel
- Check engine oil level before operating
- Keep cooling fins and intake screens clear of grass and debris
| Item | What to use | Where it’s specified |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel octane | 87 minimum | Operator’s manual fuel recommendations |
| Ethanol limit | Up to 10% ethanol allowed | Operator’s manual fuel recommendations |
| Pre-start checks | Oil level, general inspection | Operator’s manual operation section |
If you are shopping parts based on the engine
Many engine parts (air filter, oil filter, spark plug, carburetor parts) match by the engine model, not just the mower model. If you’re addressing an exhaust leak at the manifold, one compatible sealing part listed for this model is the lawn tractor engine exhaust manifold gasket 721P0460.
Why it matters
Using the engine’s model/type/code prevents ordering the wrong maintenance parts and helps you follow the correct service procedures for your specific engine configuration.
