Craftsman 247370340 lawn mower Parts

Gas walk-behind mowers like the Craftsman 247370340 are not disappearing overnight, but new gas equipment sales are tightening in some areas as more homeowners switch to battery-electric mowers for lower noise and simpler maintenance. For existing gas mowers, parts support and routine service remain common.

What “phased out” usually means

Most changes affect new product sales, not your ability to keep using and maintaining a mower you already own.

• Some states and cities restrict or plan to restrict new gas-powered outdoor equipment sales
• Retailers may stock fewer gas models as demand shifts to electric
• Gas mowers still remain popular for longer run times and heavier grass conditions
• Repair parts (blades, cables, wheels, bags) are still widely used and replaced

What to do if you plan to keep your 247370340 running

Good maintenance extends life and reduces starting and cutting problems.

• Use fresh gasoline and store fuel safely; gasoline vapors are flammable
• Keep the blade sharp and balanced to reduce vibration and improve cut quality
• Clean the underside of the deck (avoid pressure washers and direct hosing per the manual)
• Check blade bolt tightness periodically; the manual lists a blade bolt torque range
• Winterize the engine if it will sit more than 30 days

Common “keep it going” parts for this model

Maintenance need	What you may replace	Example from available parts
Poor bagging or torn bag	Grass catcher bag	Lawn mower grass bag 964-04154
Weak or unsafe operator control	Zone control cable	Mtd lawn mower zone control cable 946-04661A

Why it matters

Even if new gas mower sales decline over time, a well-maintained Craftsman mower can stay reliable for years. Following the safety and fuel-handling guidance in the 247370340 owner's manual also helps prevent injuries and fuel-related hazards.

The model number is 247.370340; it identifies your specific Craftsman walk-behind gas lawn mower for ordering parts and using the correct procedures. You can also confirm it in the 247370340 owner's manual, where it’s listed as “Craftsman Mower Model No. 247.370340.”

Where to find and confirm the model number

We recommend checking more than one place so you match parts like the blade, control cable, and grass bag correctly.

• Look on the mower’s model tag (typically on the rear of the deck, near the height adjuster area, or on the handle bracket)
• Match the tag to the manual listing for 247.370340
• Use the model number when searching diagrams for deck, handle, and wheel assemblies
• If you see a second number (often a manufacturing code), keep it for reference but use 247.370340 for parts lookup

Common mix-ups (and how to avoid them)

Some customers confuse a mower’s model number with an engine model number or a marketing name.

What you’re looking at	Example	What it’s used for
Mower model number	247.370340	Parts diagrams and mower-specific parts (blade, bag, chute, cable)
Engine model number	126M02-6863-F1	Engine-specific parts (spark plug, air filter, carburetor items)
Series/marketing name	“M210”	General identification; not reliable for exact parts matching

Why it matters

Using the exact mower model number prevents ordering the wrong deck parts and attachments. For example, the correct 21-in deck mulching blade listed for this mower is Craftsman troybilt lawn mower 21-in deck mulching blade 942-0741A.

On the Craftsman walk-behind mower model 247370340, the mower model number is printed on the mower’s model tag, and the engine has its own separate model number on the engine shroud or label. For exact tag locations and diagrams, use the 247370340 owner's manual.

What to look for (mower vs. engine)

• Mower model number: identifies the mower deck, handle, wheels, bagging and mulching parts.
• Engine model number: identifies engine-specific parts (carburetor, recoil starter, ignition, gaskets).
• They are not the same: ordering parts goes faster when you match the part to the correct model number.

Common places to find the mower model tag

Most Craftsman 21-inch walk-behind mowers place the model/serial tag in one of these spots:

• On the rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
• On the top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• On the rear skirt area behind the engine
• Near the handle mounting brackets

Engine model number for this mower

The operator’s manual for model 247370340 shows the engine as Briggs & Stratton model 126M02-6863-F1.

You need to identify	Where it’s used	Example for this mower
Mower model number	Deck and chassis parts	247370340
Engine model number	Engine parts	126M02-6863-F1

Why it matters

Using the mower model number helps you get the right chassis parts (like the grass catcher and blade adapter), while the engine model number is required for engine tune-up and starting components.
