Craftsman 247377470 lawn mower Parts

The most common issues we see on the Craftsman 247377470 walk-behind mower involve drive problems (won’t self-propel or slips), poor cutting or clumping, and bagging or discharge troubles. These usually trace back to wear items like the drive belt, control cables, blade components, or grass bag hardware; use the 247377470 owner's manual for the correct adjustments and diagrams.

Common symptoms and what typically causes them

• Self-propel won’t move or is weak: stretched or worn drive belt, misadjusted or stretched drive cable, transmission wear
• Drive engages but slips: glazed belt, debris around pulleys, cable out of adjustment
• Uneven cut or poor mulching: dull/bent blade, blade adapter wear, deck packed with wet grass
• Bag won’t fill or clogs: wet grass, restricted airflow, damaged bag or frame, rear skirt/door not sealing
• Excess vibration: bent blade, loose blade hardware, damaged blade adapter

Parts on this model that often solve these problems

If your symptoms match, these model-specific parts are common fixes:

Poor bagging	Lawn mower grass bag 964-04154 and mtd lawn mower grass bag frame 647-04271-0637	Restores proper collection and airflow

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Tip the mower safely (spark plug wire off) and clean packed grass from the deck.
• Inspect the belt for cracking, glazing, or stretching.
• Confirm the drive lever fully tensions the cable; adjust per the manual.
• Check the blade and adapter for damage and tightness.
• For bagging, verify the rear door and skirt close properly and the bag isn’t torn.

For the Craftsman lawn mower model 247377470, use fresh regular unleaded gasoline; most small 4-cycle mower engines run best on 87 AKI fuel, and E10 (up to 10% ethanol) is the practical limit for reliable starting and storage. For exact fuel guidance for your engine, follow the 247377470 owner's manual.

Fuel recommendations we use for this mower

• Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline (87 AKI).
• Use E10 or less (up to 10% ethanol); avoid higher-ethanol blends.
• Do not mix oil into the gas (this is a 4-cycle mower setup).
• Buy fuel in small quantities so it is used within 30 days.
• For storage longer than 30 days, use a fuel stabilizer and run the engine briefly to circulate it.

Quick guide: what to use vs. what to avoid

Fuel choice	Good for 247377470?	Why it matters
Regular unleaded 87 AKI	Yes	Reliable performance without extra cost
E10 (10% ethanol)	Yes	Common pump fuel; acceptable for most small engines
E15 or higher ethanol	No	Increases risk of hard starting and fuel-system issues
Old gas (over ~30 days)	No	Causes varnish, gum, and starting problems

Safe fueling and storage basics

The manual emphasizes that gasoline is extremely flammable; we recommend these habits every time you refuel:

• Shut the engine off and let it cool before fueling.
• Refuel outdoors, away from ignition sources.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Store gasoline in an approved container.
• For off-season storage, do not store the mower indoors with fuel in the tank; follow the storage steps in the manual.

Why it matters

Using the right gasoline helps prevent hard starting, rough running, and carburetor gumming, especially after the mower sits. Fresh fuel and proper storage practices reduce downtime and extend engine life.

A “Craftsman 6.75” label usually refers to the engine rating, not one single mower model number. For Craftsman walk-behind mowers, the model number is printed on the mower’s ID tag; for your Craftsman mower parts page here, the model number is 247377470. Use the 247377470 owner's manual to confirm the exact model series and features.

Where to find the model number on the mower

Check these common ID-tag locations on Craftsman walk-behind mowers:

• Rear of the deck near the discharge opening or rear door
• Top of the deck near the engine mounting area
• On the rear shield or frame behind the engine
• On the handle bracket area (near the lower handle mounts)

What the ID tag typically shows

Item on tag	What it means	Example
Model number	Identifies the mower for parts lookup	247377470
Serial number	Production identifier	Varies
Engine model/type/code	Identifies the engine for tune-up parts	Varies

Why “6.75” can be confusing

“6.75” is commonly used as an engine family or power rating, and multiple Craftsman mower models can use engines in that range. The mower model number (like 247377470) is what we use to match the correct blade, drive belt, wheels, and handle hardware.

If you are trying to match parts for a 6.75 Craftsman mower

Use the mower model number first, then match the part by description:

• Cutting system parts: blade, blade adapter, deck components
• Drive system parts (self-propelled models): drive belt, drive control cable, transmission
• Bagging parts: grass bag and frame

For example, this model’s bagging components include the lawn mower grass bag 964-04154 and the lawn mower grass bag frame 647-04271-0637.

Why it matters

Using the correct model number prevents ordering parts that look similar but do not fit (common issues include wrong wheel size, wrong belt length, or mismatched bag frame geometry).
