917.28746 specifications

The Craftsman 917.28746 is a well-regarded lawn tractor known for its reliability and performance, making it a preferred choice for homeowners looking to maintain their yards efficiently. One of the standout features of this model is its 18.5 horsepower engine, which is designed to provide ample power for a variety of mowing tasks. The engine is paired with a smooth hydrostatic transmission that allows for seamless speed adjustments and maneuverability, ensuring that users can navigate through different terrain with ease.

This lawn tractor sports a 42-inch cutting deck, ideal for medium to large-sized lawns. The deck is designed to offer a clean and even cut, featuring twin blades that enhance the quality of the mowing experience. Users have the option to adjust the cutting height, giving them control over how short or long they want their grass to be.
