Craftsman 247273340 tractor Parts

Some Craftsman mowers and lawn tractors use Briggs and Stratton engines, but Craftsman also uses other engine makers depending on the model and build. For Craftsman model 247273340, the operator documentation does not identify a specific engine brand; you’ll need to confirm it from the engine ID label and the 247273340 operator’s manual.

Use the engine’s identification markings, not the tractor model number, to confirm whether it’s Briggs and Stratton.

• Look for a brand badge on the engine shroud (Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, etc.).
• Find the engine model/type/code label or stamping on the blower housing or valve cover area.
• Match those numbers to the separate engine operator’s manual referenced in the 247273340 operator’s manual.
• Use the tractor model number 247273340 for tractor components (deck, chassis, wiring, tires).
• If your tractor has Smart Lawn features, it may prompt for model and serial number for maintenance tracking.

The Craftsman operator’s manual for this tractor family covers multiple models (247.27333* and 247.27334*) and notes that features can vary by model. In the provided manual text, the engine brand is not specified, so the engine label on your machine is the deciding source.

Engine brand and engine model determine the correct tune-up parts and service specs (spark plug, air filter, oil type and capacity). Verifying the engine ID first helps prevent ordering the wrong engine maintenance parts.

For Craftsman lawn tractor model 247273340, the exact engine brand and horsepower are not identified by the model-specific information we have; this tractor uses a low-emission small off-road gasoline engine, and the precise engine family can vary within closely related model numbers. For safe operation and maintenance details, use the 247273340 operator’s manual.

The most reliable way is to read the engine identification label on the engine itself (not the tractor frame). Look for:

• Engine manufacturer name (commonly Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, or similar)
• Engine model and type numbers
• Engine code or serial number
• Emissions label (often lists engine family)
• Any decal on the hood or dash that lists HP or displacement

On most front-engine lawn tractors like the 247273340, you will typically find the engine label:

• On the valve cover
• On the blower housing (recoil or fan shroud area)
• Near the muffler heat shield
• On the engine block near the starter

The engine make and model determine the correct tune-up parts (spark plug, air filter, oil filter if equipped) and the right oil type and capacity. Using the wrong parts can cause hard starting, poor performance, or premature wear.

For Craftsman lawn tractor model 247273340, the exact engine oil type and viscosity are determined by the engine installed on your tractor, not just the tractor model number. This operator’s manual directs you to follow the Engine Operator’s Manual for the correct oil specification.

Use the 247273340 operator’s manual to find the maintenance guidance and the engine identification information; then match the oil to the engine maker’s recommendations.

• Confirm the engine brand and engine model on the engine label
• Use 4-cycle engine oil (never mix oil and gasoline)
• Match viscosity to your typical temperature range (per the engine chart)
• Check the oil level before each use
• Change oil at the interval shown by the hour meter reminders (many setups prompt at 50-hour intervals)

These are common small-engine oil grades, but you should only use the one specified for your engine.

Using the correct viscosity helps the engine lubricate properly at startup and under mowing load. The wrong oil can increase wear, cause hard starting, or lead to higher oil consumption.

On Craftsman lawn tractor model 247273340, you can find the model number on the product identification label, typically located under the seat area or on the tractor frame near the seat. Use that exact model number when ordering parts and looking up specifications in the 247273340 operator’s manual.

Look for a sticker or metal tag in these spots (clean off grass and dirt first):

• Under the seat (lift the seat and check the seat pan area)
• On the frame rails near the seat or rear fender
• Near the engine compartment opening (on the frame, not the engine)
• Near the footrest or running board area
• On the rear of the tractor frame

For Craftsman tractors like 247273340, we recommend recording these items exactly as shown:

• Model number (example: 247273340)
• Serial number
• Product name/series text (if shown)
• Any “247.” prefix or suffix characters (do not drop digits)

Craftsman operator’s manuals often cover multiple similar tractors, and parts can vary by deck size, PTO setup, and production run. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams and avoid ordering the wrong wheel, wiring harness, or decals.
