Are gas lawn mowers being phased out?
Gas walk-behind mowers like the Craftsman 247374810 are not being phased out everywhere at once, but new gas mower sales are shrinking in some areas as more states and retailers push battery-electric options. Parts and maintenance support remain common for existing gas mowers.
What “phased out” usually means
In most cases, changes affect new equipment sales, not the mower you already own.
- Some locations restrict or plan to restrict sales of certain new gas-powered outdoor equipment
- Retailers may stock fewer gas models as demand shifts to battery mowers
- Service parts (belts, wheels, handles, chutes) typically stay available for years
- Used gas mowers and existing fleets continue operating normally
What to do if you own a gas mower
Keeping a gas mower reliable is mostly about fuel care, blade condition, and drive system upkeep.
- Use fresh fuel and avoid long-term storage with untreated gas
- Keep the underside of the deck clean to maintain airflow and cut quality
- Sharpen or replace the blade when the cut looks ragged
- If the self-propel drive slips or stops, inspect the drive belt and transmission area
- Confirm maintenance intervals and procedures in the 247374810 owner's manual
Common ownership scenarios (quick guide)
| Situation | What to expect | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| You already own a gas mower | No immediate impact | Maintain it and keep wear parts on hand |
| You want to buy new | Fewer gas choices in some areas | Compare gas vs battery based on yard size |
| You need repairs | Parts are still widely supported | Use the manual and match parts to your model |
Why it matters
If your area tightens rules on new gas mower sales, the biggest impact is future purchasing choices. For current owners, good maintenance extends mower life and reduces the need for major repairs.

How to find Craftsman model number?
On the Craftsman walk-behind mower model 247374810, the model and serial number are typically printed on a sticker on the back of the mower deck, usually between the lower handle mounts. Use that exact model number when ordering parts or checking diagrams in the 247374810 owner's manual.
Where to look on the mower
Check these common label locations first:
- Back of the deck, between the lower handle mounts (most common)
- Rear discharge area near the rear skirt
- Side of the deck near the height-adjustment bracket
- Under the grass bag opening (if equipped)
- On the handle support/bracket area
Tips for reading the tag correctly
The sticker can be dirty or faded, so a quick cleanup helps.
- Brush off dry grass and debris first
- Wipe the label with a damp rag; avoid soaking it
- Use a flashlight at a low angle to make faint printing easier to see
- Take a photo and zoom in to confirm characters
- Write down both the model number and serial number for future reference
What the model number is used for (and why it matters)
The model number ensures you get the correct parts for your exact deck and drive setup. For example, the correct self-propelled belt length and hardware can vary by model; using the right model number helps match items like the lawn mower ground drive belt, 3/8 x 31-1/4-in 954-04282 and other Craftsman-compatible components.
Quick reference
| Item | What to record | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 247374810 | Matches parts diagrams and fit |
| Serial number | From the same sticker | Helps identify production variation |
| Product type | Gas walk-behind mower | Confirms category when searching |
