Craftsman 247288890 tractor Parts

On a Craftsman lawn tractor like model 247288890, the serial number format depends on the manufacturing label used on your unit; the most reliable way to interpret it is to match the serial number and product ID information shown on the tractor’s ID tag to the identification details in the 247288890 owner's manual.

Look for the ID tag or sticker on the tractor frame (commonly under the seat area, near the rear frame, or around the engine compartment). Record these items exactly as shown:

• Model number: 247288890
• Serial number (full string, including letters)
• Product ID or factory code (if listed)
• Engine model and type (often on a separate engine label)
• Any date code printed near the serial number

Some Craftsman and MTD-built riding mowers use a date code embedded in the serial number, but the position of the month, day, and year is not universal across all labels.

Here are the most common patterns you may see:

Use these checks before you commit to a build date:

• If the “month” value is greater than 12, it is not an MMDDYY block.
• If the “day” value is 00 or greater than 31, you are not reading the right block.
• If your serial includes letters, do not ignore them; they can indicate plant or production line.
• Compare the tractor’s features (46-inch deck, hydrostatic drive) to the configuration described in the manual.

Reading the serial number correctly helps us match the right parts diagrams and service information for your Craftsman tractor, especially for items that change by production run (deck components, steering parts, and electrical items).

For your Craftsman lawn tractor model 247288890, the most reliable way to find the correct replacement parts is to match your model number to the parts diagrams and parts list, then confirm the part number and description before ordering. Your 247288890 owner's manual also helps you identify assemblies and maintenance items.

• Confirm the full model number on the tractor’s model tag: 247288890.
• Use the parts diagrams to locate the exact assembly (mower deck, steering, drive, engine, etc.).
• Match the diagram callout to the parts list description and part number.
• Compare the old part to the listing (shape, mounting holes, length, spline count, connector type).
• Order by the exact part number when possible (example: 942-04290 blade).

These are examples of parts shown for Craftsman 247288890 that often come up during routine service and repairs:

Riding mower and lawn tractor parts can look similar across Craftsman and MTD-built tractors, but small differences (deck size, pulley bore, cable length, steering spline) affect fit and safety. Using the correct diagram callout and part number prevents returns and repeat repairs.

• Disconnect the spark plug wire before inspecting moving parts.
• Measure deck size (this model is a 46-inch deck) and confirm blade style.
• Check fastener sizes and thread type (flange nuts, shoulder bolts, cotter pins are common).
• If replacing steering or deck-drive parts, inspect related wear items at the same time.

For a Craftsman lawn tractor like model 247288890, the most reliable way to identify the build year is to use the product identification label (model and serial information) and confirm the date details using the 247288890 owner's manual. Many Craftsman tractors also encode a date in the serial number, where groups of digits can represent month, day, and year.

Check these common locations on a front-engine riding mower/tractor:

• Under the seat pan or on the seat bracket area
• On the frame rail near the engine compartment
• Near the rear fender or hitch plate area
• On or near the dash tower (steering column support)

On many Craftsman-built riding tractors, a 6-digit date segment in the serial number is commonly interpreted as:

• First 2 digits: month
• Next 2 digits: day
• Last 2 digits: year

So a segment like 072811 is commonly read as July 28, 2011.

Knowing the correct year helps us match the right parts and diagrams for your tractor, especially for deck components (like blades and mandrel assemblies), steering parts, and engine-related items that can change across production runs.

Before ordering, we recommend:

• Match the full model number exactly: 247288890
• Copy the full serial number from the ID label (not just a few digits)
• Use the parts diagrams in the 247288890 owner's manual to confirm what you have
• If you are servicing the 46-inch deck, verify deck parts by diagram (blade, idler pulley, mandrel)

For your Craftsman riding mower, we look up the correct parts by matching the exact model number on the product ID label. On model 247288890, the model number is shown in the documentation as “Craftsman Model 247.288890”; use that full number when searching parts and diagrams in the 247288890 owner's manual.

Most Craftsman front-engine lawn tractors place the model and serial label in one of these spots:

• On the frame under the seat (lift the seat to view the label)
• On the underside of the seat pan
• Near the rear fender or frame rail close to the seat mounting area
• Occasionally near the footrest area on the frame

Once you have the model number, use it exactly as printed (including all digits).

• Enter the model number to pull up the correct parts list and diagrams
• Match the diagram callout to the part description before ordering
• Confirm deck size and configuration (for example, 46-inch deck components) before selecting blades or mandrels
• If a part has multiple revisions, match by part number from the diagram

Craftsman tractors often share similar names and deck sizes, but small design changes affect belts, blades, steering parts, and fuel system components. Using the exact model number prevents ordering a part that fits a different build.

If you are replacing a common wear item, confirm it against the diagram for your model before ordering, such as the lawn tractor fuel tank 651P08849 or the lawn tractor 46-in deck 2-in-1 blade 942-04290.

Craftsman uses engines from multiple manufacturers depending on the mower or tractor model. For Craftsman lawn tractor model 247288890, the operator documentation includes a Kohler engine section that identifies Kohler engine model SV620-3215; verify by matching the engine ID tag to the engine section in the 247288890 owner's manual.

Use the engine identification label first; it is the most reliable way to match tune-up specs and engine parts.

• Find the engine ID tag on the engine shroud, valve cover area, or near the starter
• Record the engine model and any spec or type numbers
• Compare those numbers to the engine section in the 247288890 owner's manual
• Use 247288890 when ordering chassis and deck parts (steering, deck, controls)
• Use the engine model when ordering engine-only items (filters, ignition, carburetion, exhaust)

Across Craftsman riding mowers and tractors, these engine brands are commonly used:

• Briggs & Stratton
• Kohler
• Kawasaki
• Other OEM suppliers depending on model year and configuration

Craftsman model numbers identify the tractor, not a single engine supplier across all Craftsman products. Confirming the engine ID prevents ordering the wrong filters, ignition parts, or exhaust components and ensures you follow the correct oil and maintenance specs.
