Craftsman 917292450 tiller Parts

Most front-tine tillers are about 20 to 26 inches wide at the tines, and some setups can be adjusted narrower or wider by changing tine spacing or tine sets. For the Craftsman 917292450 front-tine tiller, the exact working width depends on the tine configuration installed; use our parts list to match the correct tine parts for your setup.

• Front-tine tillers: commonly 20 to 26 in. working width
• Rear-tine tillers: commonly 20 to 30+ in. working width
• Width is measured at the outer edges of the tines (not the handlebar width)
• Some models allow narrow/wide setups by moving tines or swapping tine assemblies

• Tine set installed (standard vs. wider set)
• Left and right tine orientation (some tines are side-specific)
• Tine spacing hardware (washers, retainers, pins, and bolts)
• Depth stake position (does not change width, but changes bite and stability)

1. Park the tiller on a flat surface and shut the engine off.
2. Measure from the outside edge of the left outer tine to the outside edge of the right outer tine.
3. Compare that measurement to the tine parts installed.

Working width affects how many passes you need, how hard the tiller pulls, and how well it fits between rows. A narrower setup is easier to control in tight gardens; a wider setup covers ground faster but can load the drive system more.

If you are changing or rebuilding the tine setup on Craftsman 917292450, these parts are commonly involved:

• Tine, right 583854202 (tine assembly)
• Depth stake 532446066 (controls digging depth and stability)
• Spring retainer 532003146 (retains pins/clips in assemblies)

On a Craftsman front-tine tiller like model 917292450, we most often see the model number on the recoil starter housing or on a label on the engine shroud (typically near the muffler or spark plug area). Clean the area first so the tag is readable.

• Recoil starter housing (pull-start cover)
• Under the engine shroud on the sheet metal
• Near the muffler heat shield area
• Near the spark plug side of the engine
• On the frame rail near the engine mounting area

1. Turn the engine off and let it cool completely.
2. Brush off dirt and dried mud; wipe with a damp rag.
3. Look for a sticker or metal tag with a model number and sometimes a serial number.
4. If the label is oily, use a mild degreaser and wipe again.
5. Write the number down exactly as shown (letters, dashes, and all digits).

The model number is what we use to match the correct Craftsman parts list for your tiller (belts, tines, hardware, controls). For example, if you are troubleshooting tine drive issues, the correct belt selection depends on the exact model; see the husqvarna tiller drive belt 532133035 listing for a common drive belt used on this model.

You can find the correct Craftsman parts for your Craftsman 917292450 front-tine tiller by matching your model number to the parts list and diagram, then selecting the exact replacement part by name and part ID. Ordering from the model-specific list helps ensure proper fit and function.

• Confirm the model number on the tiller’s ID tag is 917292450.
• Use the parts list and diagram to identify the failed component (belt, tine, control, hardware).
• Match the part by part name and part ID (not just a description).
• If multiple similar items appear (bolts, nuts, washers), match by location in the diagram and quantity used.
• Order the part directly from the model’s parts list, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

These are examples of parts available for this model that often come up during repairs:

• Drive belt: husqvarna tiller drive belt 532133035
• Reverse drive belt: tiller reverse drive belt 599385301
• Right-side tine: tine, right 583854202
• Engine maintenance kit: briggs & statton tune-up kit 5140B

Tillers often use similar-looking belts, tines, and hardware across multiple Craftsman models. Using the 917292450 parts list and matching by part ID prevents fit issues and reduces downtime.

Some tillers are made in the USA, but it varies by brand and even by specific model and production run. For your Craftsman front-tine tiller model 917292450, the most reliable way to confirm country of origin is to check the product ID label on the machine itself (typically on the frame near the engine or handlebar area).

• Look for a “Made in USA” statement on the product label or engine label.
• Check the model and serial number tag; it often lists the manufacturing location.
• Review the engine brand and model (some engines are assembled in different countries than the tiller frame).
• If you are comparing models, confirm the exact model number, not just the brand name.
• When replacing wear items (tines, belts, hardware), match parts to your model to avoid fit issues.

These brands are commonly associated with USA manufacturing for certain tiller lines, depending on the exact model:

• Mantis (many lightweight tiller/cultivator models)
• MacKissic (Merry Tiller)
• Northwest Tillers (heavy-duty farm/tractor tillers)
• Power Dog (some commercial and garden tillers)

Even if you are shopping by country of origin, long-term ownership usually comes down to parts support. On the Craftsman 917292450, these are common wear or service items:

“Made in USA” can be important for sourcing and build preferences, but for a working garden tiller, parts availability and correct fit usually matter more. Keeping belts, tines, and controls in good shape helps your tiller dig consistently and reduces strain on the transmission.

If you are replacing worn tines on a front-tine unit, we recommend following a step-by-step guide like how to replace the tines on a front tine tiller so tine orientation and hardware placement stay correct.
