Where is Craftsman's model number?
On a Craftsman walk-behind mower, the model number is on the mower’s product ID label (not on the engine label). For your mower, the owner’s manual lists the model as 917.376152; use that number when ordering non-engine parts. See the 917376152 owner's manual for identification details.
Where to look on the mower
We typically find the model/serial label in one of these spots on walk-behind mowers:
- On the rear of the deck near the height adjusters
- On the top of the deck near the engine mounting area
- On the back shield behind the engine
- On the handle bracket area (left or right side)
- Under the rear discharge door area (if equipped)
Mower model number vs. engine model number (important)
Your Craftsman 917376152 mower uses a Briggs & Stratton engine; the engine has its own model/type code that is used for engine-only parts (carburetor, recoil starter, ignition parts).
| What you’re identifying | Which number to use | What it’s used for |
|---|---|---|
| Mower (deck, wheels, drive system, handle) | 917376152 | Most Craftsman mower parts |
| Engine (fuel, ignition, internal engine parts) | Engine model/type code on engine shroud | Briggs & Stratton engine parts |
Quick tips to make sure you have the right number
- Write the model number exactly as shown on the label (include dots if present)
- Use the mower model number for items like the blade, wheels, belt, and drive controls
- Use the engine model/type code for carburetor kits, spark plug cross-references, and recoil parts
Why it matters
The mower model number ties to the correct parts diagram for your deck and self-propel drive. Using the engine number by mistake is a common reason customers receive the wrong blade, belt, or wheel parts.

Do lawn mowers have a VIN number?
Lawn mowers do not use a car-style VIN; instead, your Craftsman walk-behind mower model 917376152 is identified by a model number and a serial number. On this mower, both are printed on a decal on the rear of the mower housing (see the 917376152 owner's manual).
Where to find the model and serial number on model 917376152
We use these numbers to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and specifications for your exact mower.
- Look for a decal on the rear of the lawn mower housing.
- Record the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
- Write down the date of purchase as well (helpful for maintenance tracking).
- Use the model and serial when ordering common wear items like a blade, belt, or wheel parts.
VIN vs. model/serial: what’s the difference?
A VIN is standardized for road vehicles; lawn mowers typically are not titled or registered that way. For repairs and parts lookup, the model and serial number serve the same practical purpose.
| Identifier | Used on | What it tells us | Example (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIN | Cars, trucks | Vehicle identity and build details | 17-character VIN |
| Model number | Lawn mowers | Design and parts compatibility | 917376152 |
| Serial number | Lawn mowers | Production run tracking | Varies by unit |
Why it matters for parts and service
Using the correct model and serial number prevents mismatched parts and installation issues. For example, the correct 22-inch blade for this model is the lawn mower blade 532406713; ordering by model helps ensure the blade, adapter, and bolt torque specs align with your mower.

What model number is a Craftsman 6.75 lawn mower?

Confirm yours by matching the model tag on the mower housing to the number shown in the 917376152 owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on the mower
We use the model number to match the correct diagrams and parts (blade, drive belt, wheels, and hardware). On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like model 917.376152, the model and serial numbers are listed on a decal on the rear of the lawn mower housing.

These details help you confirm you are looking at the right mower family.
| Item | What you should see for model 917.376152 |

Why it matters for parts and repairs
Using the wrong model number is the fastest way to order the wrong blade, belt, or drive components. For example, the correct 22-inch blade listed for this model is the lawn mower blade 532406713, and blade-related service specs like blade bolt torque are set by the mower design.
Helpful next step if you are shopping by “6.75” only
Many Craftsman mowers are described as “6.75” but use different decks, drive systems, and handles. If your decal does not read 917.376152, use the model tag number to search parts for your exact mower.
