917.28947, 917.289470 specifications

The Craftsman 917.28947 and 917.289470 are robust lawn tractors designed for homeowners seeking durability, performance, and comfort in their yard care equipment. These models stand out in the Craftsman line due to their exceptional features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics.

At the core of both models is a powerful engine, typically a 19 HP or higher, ready to tackle various mowing conditions. The engine is combined with a smooth-running automatic transmission that facilitates easy operation, allowing the driver to focus on the task without worrying about shifting gears. This feature makes mowing large lawns or navigating through obstacles much simpler.

One of the most notable characteristics of the Craftsman 917.28947 and 917.289470 is their 42-inch cutting deck.

This adaptability is part of what makes these models particularly appealing to a diverse range of users.

Incorporating advanced technologies, these lawn tractors often feature an ergonomic design, including a plush seat with back support that provides comfort during prolonged use. The easy-to-read dashboard displays critical information such as fuel level, speed, and battery status, allowing users to monitor their operation effectively.

Additionally, both models come equipped with essential safety features such as a safety switch that prevents the engine from starting when the operator is not seated. This attention to safety ensures peace of mind during operation, especially for those who may have children or pets around while mowing.

In terms of maintenance, the Craftsman 917.28947 and 917.289470 include features designed to make care manageable. The accessible design allows for easy cleaning and part replacement when necessary, ensuring that the tractors remain in top condition throughout their lifespan.
