Craftsman 24737034 lawn mower Parts

For the Craftsman 24737034 walk-behind mower, the most common repairs are basic tune-up and safety-related fixes: replacing or cleaning the air filter, replacing the spark plug, draining stale fuel, and correcting blade issues (loose, bent, dull, or unbalanced). See the 24737034 owner's manual for the model’s starting, maintenance, and troubleshooting steps.

• Won’t start: empty or stale fuel, spark plug boot loose, faulty spark plug, blocked fuel line
• Runs rough or stalls: dirty air cleaner, gas cap vent plugged, water or dirt in fuel
• Hard to pull starter rope: follow correct pull-start technique; pull to resistance, then a rapid full-arm stroke
• Overheats: low engine oil, restricted airflow around the engine
• Vibration or noisy cutting: blade loose, blade unbalanced, or blade bent (inspect after hitting debris)
• Poor cut or won’t mulch: wet grass, grass too tall, dull blade, wheels set unevenly

These are frequent wear items on walk-behind mowers, especially if the mower hits sticks or is used for bagging:

• Craftsman troybilt lawn mower 21-in deck mulching blade 942-0741A (dull, bent, or unbalanced blade)
• Grass catcher components (bag, frame, discharge door area) when worn or damaged
• Control cable if the blade control does not feel right or does not fully engage

Most “repair” calls on gas mowers come down to fuel quality and routine maintenance. Fresh gasoline, a clean air path, and a safe, balanced blade prevent hard starting, stalling, overheating, and vibration that can damage the deck and engine.

The model number is 24737034. On this Craftsman walk-behind gas mower, the model is printed on the mower’s model label and is also shown throughout the parts list and diagrams in the 24737034 owner's manual.

We typically see the model label in easy-to-spot places on walk-behind mowers. Check these common locations:

• On the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
• On the top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• On the rear skirt area behind the engine
• Near the handle mounting brackets
• On a label plate attached to the deck housing

This mower uses a separate engine model number that is different from the mower model number. For Craftsman model 24737034, the manual shows an engine model number 126M02-6863-F1.

Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong walk-behind mower parts. Craftsman model families can look similar, but deck, handle, and discharge components often change by model.

Before you choose parts, we recommend confirming:

• Model number: 24737034
• Product type: Craftsman gas walk-behind mower
• Deck size listed in the manual parts breakdown (commonly referenced as a 21-inch deck)
• Whether you need bagging, mulching, or side-discharge parts

For Craftsman walk-behind mower model 24737034, the most reliable way to identify the manufacturing date is to match your mower’s serial number format to the date-code guidance in the 24737034 operator’s manual. Many Craftsman serials include a built-in date code, but the exact “month-day-year” order depends on the label style.

On most Craftsman 21-inch walk-behind mowers, the model and serial label is typically on the deck housing near the rear discharge area, or on the rear skirt.

Check these common spots:

• Top of the mower deck, behind the engine
• Rear of the deck near the bagging opening
• Near the height adjuster area on the deck side
• On the rear skirt panel

Serial number formats vary by production run, so we recommend decoding by pattern.

Use this quick guide:

• All digits, 6-digit block: often a date code (commonly MMDDYY or similar)
• Longer serial with letters + numbers: the date code may be embedded within the string
• Sticker shows “DOM” or “Date”: that printed date is the build date
• Multiple numbers on the label: use the one labeled “Serial” (not the engine model)

Your mower (deck) model is 24737034, but the engine has its own model number (often shown separately). Use the mower serial for the mower’s year; use the engine model only for engine parts and service.

Knowing the correct year helps us match the right parts diagrams and hardware revisions for your Craftsman mower, especially for items like the control cable, wheels, and blade adapter.

On the Craftsman walk-behind mower model 24737034, the model number is printed on the product identification label; it is commonly found on the mower deck or frame near the rear wheel area, and it can also be located near the engine. For the exact label location and what the label looks like, use the 24737034 operator's manual.
