The model number for this Craftsman walk-behind mower is 247377051. On the mower’s ID tag and in documentation, you may also see it shown as the model family 247.37705* (the last digit can vary by version); your exact model is 247377051. See the 247377051 owner's manual for the model list and identification details.
Where to find the model number on the mower
We use the model number to match the correct parts (blade, drive belt, wheels) and the right operator instructions.
- Check the ID label on the mower deck (typically near the rear discharge area)
- Check the label on the rear skirt area or near the handle mounting points
- Match the number exactly, including all digits (example: 247377051)
- If you see a dot format (example: 247.37705*), use your full 9-digit version for parts lookup
Model number formats you might see
The operator’s manual groups several related models together. Here is how the formats relate:
| What you see | What it means | What to use for parts |
|---|---|---|
| 247377051 | Your exact Craftsman model | Use this exact number |
| 247.37705* | Model series; last digit varies | Use your full 9-digit model |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong items for your mower’s configuration, such as the correct 21-in deck mulching blade, ground drive belt length, or bagging hardware.
If you are replacing common wear items, match parts to 247377051 before ordering (for example, the lawn mower ground drive belt 954-04259A or the 21-in deck mulching blade 942-0741A).

What year is Craftsman 247377051?
Craftsman model 247377051 is a model number, not a date code; the year is identified from the mower’s product label (often called the model and serial tag) and the engine’s model/type code. For model-year clues and label locations, use the 247377051 operator’s manual.
How to find the year on your mower
We use the mower’s identification label and, when needed, the engine label to pinpoint the year.
- Look for the model and serial tag on the rear of the deck, near the height adjusters, or around the handle mounting area.
- Record the serial number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).
- Check the engine label (usually on the blower housing) for engine model/type and date information.
- Compare what you find to the identification section in the manual.
- If the label is missing or unreadable, use the engine information to narrow the production year.
What the manual tells us for this model family
The operator’s manual covering this mower family is dated November 17, 2017, and it lists 247.37705* as one of the supported model series. That means your 247377051 is in a Craftsman 21-inch walk-behind mower family that was supported by that manual revision. Use the label on your mower to confirm the exact year.
Quick reference
| Item | What it tells you | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Mower model number (247377051) | Identifies the parts family | Model/serial tag on deck |
| Mower serial number | Best way to determine build timeframe | Same tag as model |
| Engine model/type code | Helps date the engine (often close to mower build) | Engine shroud/blower housing |
Why it matters
The build year affects parts fitment and service details (for example, handle hardware, drive system changes, and deck components). Confirming the year from the tag helps us match the correct Craftsman and MTD-style replacement parts.

Where is Craftsman's model number?
On your Craftsman walk-behind mower, the model number is on the mower’s ID label (not on the battery or charger). For model 247377051, check the deck housing near the rear discharge area, the rear skirt, or the handle mounting area; the label typically lists the model and serial number together.
Where to look on model 247377051
- Top of the deck housing (near the engine mounting area)
- Rear of the deck by the rear discharge opening
- Rear skirt area (behind the deck)
- Handle bracket or handle mounting points
- Under the grass bag area (if equipped)
What the label usually looks like
The ID label is commonly a small sticker or metal tag with multiple lines of text.
| What you’ll see | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 247377051) | Identifies the exact parts list for your mower |
| Serial number | Helps match production changes and service info |
| Brand name (Craftsman) | Confirms you are using the right manual and diagrams |
Tips to read it clearly
- Wipe the area with a damp rag first; grass dust can hide the print.
- Use a flashlight at a low angle to make stamped text easier to see.
- Take a photo and zoom in; this often reveals faded numbers.
Why it matters
The model number is the fastest way to match the correct blade, drive belt, wheels, and control cables for your mower. For example, parts like the lawn mower ground drive belt 954-04259A and mtd lawn mower zone control cable 946-1113A must match the exact model series.
