Craftsman 917272075 lawn tractor Parts

To look up your Craftsman model number, find the model/serial tag on the tractor first, then use that exact model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams. For Craftsman lawn tractor model 917272075, the model number is shown on the first page of the 917272075 owner's manual.

On most Craftsman riding mowers and lawn tractors, the model/serial label is on the frame under the seat area or on the underside of the seat.

Check these common spots:

• Frame rail under the seat (lift the seat to view)
• Underside of the seat pan
• Rear fender pan near the seat hinge
• Near the footrest area on the frame (less common)

Once you have the model number, match it exactly (including dots or dashes if shown on the tag). Then use it to confirm the correct parts diagrams for your deck, drive system, steering, and wheels.

Use this quick checklist:

• Write down the full model number and serial number
• Confirm the product type (lawn tractor vs. zero-turn)
• Match the deck size and engine HP listed on the tag/manual
• Use the parts diagrams to identify the exact part ID before ordering

If you are replacing a worn drive belt on this tractor, the v-belt 532138255 is one example of a model-matched part you can confirm using the diagrams.

Craftsman tractors often look similar across years, but parts like belts, blades, mandrel assemblies, and steering components can vary by model number. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong part and saves time during repair.

The Craftsman lawn tractor model 917272075 uses a Kohler engine model CV490 with type number 27508. You can confirm this in the engine breakdown in the 917272075 owner's manual, which lists the engine as “Kohler Model CV490-27508.”

You will typically see the engine model and type on the engine ID label (often on the blower housing, valve cover area, or near the starter). Match what you see to the manual listing.

• Look for Model: CV490
• Look for Type: 27508
• Record the spec number if shown (helps when ordering Kohler engine parts)
• Clean the label area first; grass and oil can hide characters
• Use the engine model and type when searching for ignition, carburetor, or starter parts

Kohler uses the model + type to identify the exact configuration (charging system, muffler, fuel system, and other variations). Using only “CV490” can pull the wrong parts list.

If you are working on mowing performance (not the engine itself), these common deck parts are ordered by tractor model:

• Husqvarna lawn tractor mulching blade, 21-in 532134149 for cutting quality issues (dull or bent blade)
• V-belt 532138255 if the tractor loses drive or the belt is cracked/glazed
• Molded ignition key 532140403 if the key is missing or damaged

The Craftsman lawn tractor model 917272075 is from the early 2000s. The most accurate way to confirm the exact year for your specific tractor is to read the model and serial information on the tractor’s ID label and cross-check it with the documentation in the 917272075 owner's manual.

Use the tractor’s identification label first; that label ties your exact unit to a production run.

• Look for the ID label under the seat, on the frame rail, or near the rear fender pan
• Confirm the model number is 917272075 (match all digits)
• Write down the serial number and any date code shown
• Compare your tractor’s configuration to the assemblies shown in the manual (chassis, steering, seat, decals)
• If the engine has been replaced, use the tractor frame label, not the engine tag

The manual is the best reference for confirming you have the correct model and parts breakdown; it typically does not print a single “manufactured in” year on the parts pages.

Craftsman tractors can have small production-run changes that affect belt routing, steering parts, and deck hardware. Confirming the exact model and serial information helps you choose the right replacement parts the first time.
