Craftsman CMXGRAM1130044 t240 lawn tractor Parts

For the Craftsman CMXGRAM1130044 lawn tractor, the operator’s manual points you to a separate engine manual for the exact engine series and engine-specific specs. In general, Craftsman riding mower engines are commonly supplied by major small-engine manufacturers such as Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Kawasaki.

What we can confirm for CMXGRAM1130044

The CMXGRAM1130044 operator’s manual is a multi-model manual (T200 and T300 series) and does not name a single engine maker for every unit. It specifically indicates:

• Engine series: see separate engine manual
• Engine oil type and capacity: see separate engine manual
• Fuel: unleaded gasoline

For model-specific identification steps, use the CMXGRAM1130044 operator’s manual.

How to identify the engine manufacturer on your tractor

Check the engine itself, not just the tractor hood decals. Look for an engine ID label or stamping (often on the blower housing, valve cover area, or near the starter).

• Find the engine brand name (for example, Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, Kawasaki)
• Record the engine model, type, and code (or spec number)
• Match that information to the separate engine manual for tune-up parts and oil specs
• Use the tractor model number CMXGRAM1130044 when shopping for chassis and deck parts

Why it matters

The tractor model number (CMXGRAM1130044) helps you get the right Craftsman chassis parts, but engine maintenance items like the oil filter, air filter, and spark plug are typically selected by the engine model and spec number.

What you’re working on	Use this identifier	Example items
Engine maintenance	Engine model/spec label	Oil type, oil filter, air filter, spark plug
Tractor and attachments	Tractor model CMXGRAM1130044	Belts, blades, deck hardware, accessories

For the Craftsman CMXGRAM1130044 lawn tractor, the operator’s manual identifies MTD LLC as the product manufacturer. Craftsman is a brand name used under license; the actual manufacturer can vary by model and production era, so checking the model-specific documentation is the most reliable method.

What this means for CMXGRAM1130044 parts and service

Because CMXGRAM1130044 is documented as manufactured by MTD LLC, many service procedures, deck designs, and attachment fitments follow MTD-style platforms for the T200/T300 series.

• Use the model number CMXGRAM1130044 when ordering parts or attachments.
• Follow the maintenance schedule and safety interlock checks in the CMXGRAM1130044 instruction manual.
• For add-ons (snow blade, mulch kit, sun shade), confirm compatibility by model, not just by brand name.
• If you need a replacement cap, match it by part listing for this model, such as the lawn tractor fuel tank cap 751P15242A.

For the Craftsman CMXGRAM1130044 front-engine lawn tractor, the operator’s manual does not identify a specific engine brand, horsepower, or cylinder count; it directs you to the separate engine manual for those details. We recommend confirming the engine series on your engine label and matching maintenance specs to that series using the CMXGRAM1130044 operator’s manual.

How to identify the exact engine on CMXGRAM1130044

You can accurately identify the engine by checking the engine’s ID label (usually on the blower housing, valve cover area, or near the starter).

• Find the engine manufacturer (commonly Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, or similar)
• Record the engine model, type, and code (or spec number)
• Use those numbers to select the correct oil type, oil capacity, air filter, and spark plug
• If the tractor has an hour meter, note hours for service intervals (oil and air filter reminders often trigger at set hours)

What the manual confirms (and what it does not)

The CMXGRAM1130044 manual covers multiple Craftsman T200 and T300 series tractors, so some specifications vary by model.

Item	CMXGRAM1130044 manual guidance
Engine series details	“See separate engine manual”
Fuel type	Unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane); do not use E85
Engine oil type/capacity	“See separate engine manual”
Transmission type	Hydrostatic transmission (sealed, maintenance-free)

Why it matters

Using the correct engine identification prevents wrong maintenance parts and fluids. Oil type, oil capacity, air filter style, and spark plug specs are engine-specific; using the wrong spec can cause hard starting, poor performance, or premature wear.

Helpful related part (optional)

If you are troubleshooting fuel smell, stalling, or a loose cap, inspect the fuel cap seal and venting. A compatible replacement for this model is the lawn tractor fuel tank cap 751P15242A.
