Craftsman 917370926 lawn mower Parts

For a Craftsman walk-behind mower like model 917370926, the most reliable way to identify the year is to read the product identification tag (model and serial) and decode the serial number date code. We use the format shown in your 917370926 owner's manual to match the serial number to a manufacture date.

Where to find the model and serial tag

On most Craftsman walk-behind mowers, the ID tag is on the mower deck or rear housing area (not under a seat like a riding mower). Look for a sticker or metal tag that lists:

• Model number (example: 917370926)
• Serial number (a longer string of numbers and letters)
• Sometimes an engine model/type code (engine is often a separate manufacturer)

How to decode the year from the serial number

Craftsman date coding varies by production run, but these are the most common patterns you will see:

• 6-digit date code: MMDDYY (month, day, year)
• Letter + digits format: a letter prefix followed by numbers; the last 2 digits often indicate the year
• Mixed format on some walk-behind units: the year is embedded in a specific position within the serial

Quick example (common 6-digit format)

Serial date code	Meaning	Year
071294	July 12, 1994	1994

If the serial number does not look like a date

Use this checklist to narrow it down:

• Confirm you are reading the mower tag, not the engine tag
• Write the serial exactly as shown (include letters)
• Check for a separate date code line near the serial
• Compare the format to the identification section in the 917370926 owner's manual

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacture year helps us match the correct Craftsman parts and diagrams for your mower, especially for wear items like a husqvarna lawn mower 22-inch deck 3-in-1 blade 532421825 and drive components.

The model number is 917370926. On Craftsman walk-behind mowers, the model number is the primary identifier we use to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and maintenance information for your exact mower.

Where to find the model number on the mower

Most Craftsman walk-behind mowers list the model number on a sticker or plate on the mower housing.

• Check the rear of the deck near the discharge opening
• Look behind the engine on the deck surface
• Inspect the handle support area where the handle bolts to the deck
• Wipe off grass and dirt; the label is often hard to read when dirty
• Write the number down exactly as shown (all digits matter)

Why the model number matters for parts

Using 917370926 helps ensure you get parts that fit your deck, drive system, and safety controls.
