Craftsman 917276601 tractor Parts

On a Craftsman riding mower like model 917276601, the model number is typically on an ID label on the frame under the seat, or on the underside of the seat itself. Once you have that number, you can match the correct parts, diagrams, and maintenance instructions in the 917276601 owner's manual.

Check these common label locations first:

• Under the seat on the frame (lift the seat and look at the flat frame rails)
• On the underside of the seat pan
• Near the rear fender area close to the seat mount
• On the frame near the engine compartment (less common)

Record the full ID information exactly as shown.

• Wipe the label with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh solvents
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a photo and zoom in to read small characters
• Copy every digit; one wrong number can point to a different deck or drive system

Craftsman tractors often share similar looks across multiple model numbers, but parts like blades, belts, and deck hardware can differ by deck size and configuration. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering the wrong component and speeds up troubleshooting.

Craftsman model 917276601 is typically associated with the LT1000 series and is commonly dated to the early 1990s, with many references placing it around 1991. For the most accurate identification, we recommend confirming the product and serial information using the 917276601 owner's manual.

The most reliable way to pin down the exact year is to match the model and serial details on the tractor itself.

• Find the model/serial tag (commonly under the seat, on the frame rail, or near the engine compartment)
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown
• Compare the serial format and any date codes to the identification section in the manual
• If the tractor has had major components replaced (engine, hood, chassis), use the frame tag as the primary reference
• Keep a photo of the tag for parts lookups and future service

Many Craftsman riding mowers with model numbers starting with 917 were produced for Craftsman by a major OEM and sold across multiple years. That means the model family can span more than one season, even when the model number looks specific.

Knowing the correct year helps ensure you get the right parts for your exact configuration (deck style, belt routing, and electrical harness changes can vary by production run), especially for wear items like blades, belts, and pulleys.

For the Craftsman 917276601 front-engine lawn tractor, the exact engine make and horsepower depend on the specific engine variant installed on your tractor; we use the engine model and spec numbers on the engine label to match the correct tune-up and starting parts. Use the Craftsman 917276601 owner's manual to locate the engine ID and maintenance specs.

Look for an engine identification label on the engine itself (commonly on the blower housing, valve cover, or near the starter area). Record all numbers exactly.

• Engine brand (commonly Briggs & Stratton or Kohler on many Craftsman tractors)
• Engine model number
• Type/spec number (or spec code)
• Code/date number (helps confirm the exact build)
• Any emissions family label (useful for parts matching)

Most Craftsman front-engine riding mowers use a single-cylinder or V-twin gasoline engine designed for vertical-shaft mower decks. Typical output ranges are:

The tractor model number (917276601) identifies the chassis and deck, but the engine ID is what we use to match engine-specific parts like spark plugs, air filters, fuel filters, and carburetor components.

If you are chasing a starting issue, these tractor-side parts are also common culprits:

• Battery cables and connections (clean and tight)
• Starter solenoid (a frequent no-crank cause)
• Ignition wiring and safety interlock circuits

A Craftsman “6.75” marking describes an engine power class used on many walk-behind mowers; it is not a single model number. To get the correct model number, read the model tag on your mower and use that exact number for parts and manuals (this page’s model, Craftsman 917276601, is a front-engine lawn tractor, not a 6.75 walk-behind mower).

Use the mower’s ID tag, then match the full model number exactly.

• Look for a sticker or metal tag labeled Model and Serial
• On many Craftsman walk-behind mowers, check the rear of the deck near the bagger door
• Also check the side of the deck above a rear wheel
• Clean grass and debris off the tag so every digit is readable
• Write down the full model number (often 9 digits and commonly starts with 917)

“6.75” is an engine rating/class that can appear on many different Craftsman mower builds.

Craftsman 917276601 is a riding lawn tractor. For tractor parts like blades, belts, and deck hardware, use the tractor’s diagrams and the 917276601 owner’s manual.

• Deck parts often reference blade and mandrel components
• Common deck-related replacements include items like a lawn tractor mandrel housing 587819701
• Use the exact deck size and configuration shown in the diagrams before ordering

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong blade, belt, drive parts, or deck components; small design changes between models can change fit.
