How to look up Craftsman model number?
For your Craftsman walk-behind mower model 917376734, the model number is printed on the mower’s model label; once you find it, you can use that exact number to pull the correct parts list, diagrams, and specifications in the 917376734 owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on a Craftsman walk-behind mower
On most Craftsman walk-behind mowers, the model label is on the mower deck or on the rear housing area near the bagger or discharge opening.
Check these common spots:
- Top of the mower deck, near the engine mounting area
- Rear of the deck, behind the engine (near the height adjusters)
- Near the rear door or grass bag opening
- On the handle support brackets (lower handle area)
How to use the model number to look up parts
Once you have the model number, match it exactly (including dots or dashes if shown on the label).
Use it to:
- Confirm the correct blade and drive parts for your deck size
- Pull the correct exploded-view diagrams
- Verify hardware sizes before ordering (nuts, washers, E-rings)
- Cross-check part descriptions against the key number list in the manual

What year is Craftsman Model 917376734?
Craftsman model 917376734 identifies the mower platform (a Craftsman rotary mower with a Briggs & Stratton 650 Series engine and 22-inch deck), but the model number itself is not a year code. To get the exact year, use the mower’s product/serial identification label; the 917376734 owner's manual shows where to find key identification information.
How to find the manufacture year
Use the ID label on the mower, then match the serial or date code format.
- Look for the product identification label on the rear of the deck, near the height adjusters, or on the handle support area
- Write down the serial number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
- If a date code is printed, record it exactly
- Clean the label gently so all characters are readable
- Use the serial/date code to confirm the production year before ordering parts
What the model number tells you

Why it matters
The year helps match running changes in components and ensures you order the correct revision of parts such as the lawn mower drive control cable 532407816 or the lawn mower mulching blade 532406707. It also helps when selecting engine maintenance items like oil and air filters.
