How to find Craftsman model number?
On a Craftsman walk-behind mower like model 917370722, the model number is typically printed on a label attached to the mower deck or frame (often near the rear wheels or height-adjust area). Use the model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams in the 917370722 owner's manual.
Check these common spots first:
- Top of the mower deck near the engine mounting area
- Rear of the deck, behind the engine, near the bagger door
- Side of the deck near the height adjuster hardware
- Frame/handle bracket area where the lower handle bolts on
- Near the discharge chute opening (side discharge models)
The ID label often has more than one number. Here is how to use them:
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example for this mower |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finds the correct diagrams and parts | 917370722 |
| Product number | Helps narrow down exact configuration | Varies by unit |
| Engine model/type/code | Finds engine-specific parts (carb, ignition) | Varies by engine |
If the label is hard to read:
- Brush off dry debris first, then wipe with a damp rag
- Use a flashlight at a low angle to make faint printing stand out
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in
- Copy the number exactly, including dots or dashes (if present)
Craftsman mowers can look similar across years, but parts like the drive control, handle hardware, and rear door components can differ by model. Using 917370722 ensures you get the right diagrams and the right replacement parts the first time.

What model number is the Craftsman 917370722?
The model number for this Craftsman walk-behind mower is 917.370722 (often written without the dot as 917370722). You can confirm it on the mower’s model tag and in the 917370722 owner's manual.
We recommend checking the model tag first because it matches the parts diagrams and ensures you order the right Craftsman parts.
- Look on the rear of the deck near the discharge door area.
- Check around the engine mounting area on the deck.
- Look near the handle bracket or height adjuster area.
- Match the tag to the manual format: Model No. 917.370722.
The same mower can show the model number in slightly different formats.
| Where you see it | Example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Model tag / manual | 917.370722 | Standard Craftsman format |
| Parts lookup / online | 917370722 | Same model number, no dot |
Parts for walk-behind mowers are highly model-specific (drive control, wheel adjusters, discharge door hardware). Using 917.370722 / 917370722 ensures the diagrams and part IDs match your exact Craftsman mower.
If you are replacing drive or control components, the manual also helps verify correct routing and adjustments.

What year is Craftsman Model 917370722?
Craftsman model 917370722 is identified by its model number, not a built-in “year” code. For this walk-behind mower, the most reliable way to confirm the manufacturing date is to use the engine data plate (model, type, and code) and cross-reference it with the date guidance in the 917370722 owner's manual.
On Craftsman walk-behind mowers like 917370722, the mower deck model number typically stays the same across production runs, while the engine code is what dates the unit.
Check these locations:
- Engine shroud or valve cover: look for an engine label with a code/date field
- Recoil starter housing: sometimes the engine model/type/code is printed near the pull-start
- Mower deck tag: confirms you have model 917370722, but usually does not show a build date
- Under the air filter cover: some engines place the ID label nearby
Use this quick guide when you read the engine label:
| Where you’re looking | What you’ll see | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Mower deck tag | 917370722 | Identifies the mower platform and parts list |
| Engine label | Model / Type | Identifies the engine family |
| Engine label | Code (date code) | Identifies the engine build date |
The 917 prefix is a long-running Craftsman numbering family and does not translate directly into a calendar date. The accurate “year” comes from the engine’s date code, because that code is tied to when the engine was produced.
Knowing the correct year helps you match the right maintenance parts and drive components (for example, the self-propelled system parts shown in the manual parts list, such as the lawn mower zone control cable 532191221 when applicable to your configuration).
