Craftsman 917376592 lawn mower Parts

To identify your Craftsman lawn mower, match the model number on the product label to your paperwork; for this mower, the owner documentation lists model 917.376592 (commonly shown as 917376592). Use the model number to look up the correct parts list, blade, belt, and maintenance instructions in the 917376592 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on the mower

On walk-behind mowers like Craftsman 917376592, the model number is typically printed on a product identification label on the mower housing or deck area (not under a seat like a riding mower).

Check these common spots:

• Rear of the deck near the discharge opening or mulcher door
• Top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• Back panel between the rear wheels
• Handle support area near the height adjusters
• Near the grass catcher mounting points

What to write down (so parts match)

Record these details before ordering parts or troubleshooting:

• Model number (example: 917376592)
• Engine brand/type (this series commonly uses a Briggs & Stratton engine)
• Deck size (this model is a 22-inch class mower)
• Start type (this model family can include electric start)

Item to record	Example for this model	Why it matters
Model number	917376592	Ensures correct diagrams and parts
Deck/blade size	22-inch	Ensures correct blade fit
Drive type	Power-propelled	Affects belt and transmission parts

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents wrong-part returns and saves time during repairs. For example, the correct cutting blade and drive components depend on the exact deck and drive configuration.

If you are replacing a worn or bent blade, use the model number to confirm fitment, then compare to the 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825.

On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like model 917376592, the serial number is mainly used to identify the exact production run for parts and service. We match the serial number from the mower housing decal with the model number to ensure you get the correct blade, belt, and drive parts.

Where to find the serial number on model 917376592

The model and serial number are printed on a decal on the rear of the lawn mower housing. Use the format shown in the 917376592 owner's manual.

• Look at the back of the deck (rear housing area)
• Clean grass and dirt off the decal so every digit is readable
• Write down both the model number and serial number
• Record the purchase date if you still have it
• Use the serial number when ordering parts or requesting service

How Craftsman serial numbers are commonly interpreted

Many Craftsman serial numbers are date-coded. A common format is:

Serial number digits	Meaning	Example interpretation
1-2	Month	07 = July
3-4	Day	28 = 28th
5-6	Year	11 = 2011

If your serial number follows this pattern, it reads as a build date (month, day, year). If it does not, we still use the full serial number to confirm the correct parts list for your mower.

Why it matters

The serial number helps prevent mismatches when replacing wear items and drive components, especially on power-propelled 22-inch decks where small design changes can affect fit.

If you are ordering common wear parts, these are the items most often tied to exact model and serial identification:

• Blade and blade hardware
• Drive belt and drive pulley
• Transmission and wheel drive parts
• Control cable and handle controls

Model number vs. engine model number (common mix-up)

Your mower has its own model number, and the Briggs & Stratton engine has a separate engine model number.

Item	What it identifies	Example for this mower
Mower model number	The Craftsman mower for parts and diagrams	917.376592 (917376592)
Engine model number	The Briggs & Stratton engine for engine-specific parts	128T05-1268-B1

Why it matters

Using the correct mower model number (917.376592) ensures we match the right parts diagrams and assemblies for your deck, drive system, and controls. Using the engine model number is helpful when you are sourcing engine-only items like ignition or carburetor components.

Craftsman model 917.376592 is a specific walk-behind mower model number; the most reliable way to determine its exact production timeframe is to use the serial number on the mower’s rear housing decal and match it to the identification details in the 917376592 owner's manual.

Where to find the date information on the mower

On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like 917.376592, the model and serial numbers are on a decal on the rear of the lawn mower housing. Use that serial number to determine the build date or manufacturing code.

• Look at the rear of the deck (back side of the mower housing)
• Write down the model number (917.376592) and serial number
• Record the date of purchase if you still have it (helpful for warranty and parts history)
• Keep the numbers with your maintenance records (blade, belt, oil changes)

How to use the serial number to pin down the year

Many mower and engine components use date codes; the mower serial number and the engine’s code date together narrow the manufacturing window.

• Start with the mower’s serial number (rear housing decal)
• Check the engine for a code/date stamp (often on the blower housing or valve cover area)
• Compare what you find to the identification guidance in the 917376592 owner's manual
• If you are ordering wear items (blade, belt, drive parts), match by model number and part diagram, not by estimated year

Common year-range expectations (what’s typical)

For Craftsman 917-series walk-behind mowers, production commonly spans multiple years with small running changes. The serial number is the deciding factor for the exact year.

What you have	What it tells you	Best next step
Model number only (917.376592)	Identifies the mower design family and parts list	Use the serial number to confirm year
Serial number from rear decal	Identifies the specific build run	Use it to determine the exact year
Engine code/date	Helps confirm timeframe and correct engine parts	Cross-check with mower serial number

Why it matters

Year matters because Craftsman made running updates to items like the drive system, control cable routing, and deck hardware. Confirming the serial number helps ensure you get the correct replacement parts, such as the husqvarna lawn mower 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825 or the lawn mower ground drive belt 532196853.
