Craftsman 247290004 riding mower Parts

On the Craftsman riding mower model 247290004, the model number is typically printed on the product identification label on the mower frame or under the seat area. Use the model number and serial number from that label when ordering parts or checking specifications in the 247290004 owner's manual.

Look for a sticker or metal tag; wipe off grass and dirt so the numbers are readable.

• Underside of the seat pan (lift the seat)
• Rear of the frame near the wheels
• Side of the frame rail (left or right)
• Near the engine area on the frame (not on the plastic cover)
• Near the cutting deck area (on the deck or deck hanger region)

Record these exactly as shown on the label.

Craftsman riding mowers can look similar across multiple model series, but belts, pulleys, steering parts, and safety switches can differ. Using the correct model number helps us match the right ground drive belt, blade drive belt, or interlock switch the first time.

• Clean the label with mild soap and water, then dry it
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing stand out
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in

The model number depends on the exact Craftsman 42-inch riding mower you own; Craftsman uses many different 42-inch deck models. On this Sears PartsDirect page, the model number is 247.290004 (a rear-engine riding mower with a 30-inch deck), as shown in the 247290004 owner's manual.

We recommend using the mower’s model/serial tag first, then matching it to parts diagrams.

• Look under the seat pan or seat bracket area
• Check the frame near the rear fender or footrest
• Look near the engine shroud or rear engine cover area
• Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Match that number to the correct parts list before ordering belts, pulleys, or switches

If you are shopping for parts for a 42-inch Craftsman rider, confirm deck size before you order.

Deck size and model number control the exact fit for key parts like the blade drive belt, ground drive belt, and safety interlock switch. Using the wrong model number is the fastest way to end up with a belt length or pulley setup that does not match your mower.
