917.273392 specifications

The Craftsman 917.273392 is a robust and versatile lawn mower designed to meet the needs of homeowners who value efficiency, performance, and convenience. This model combines power and user-friendly features to ensure an optimal mowing experience.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.273392 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a reliable Briggs & Stratton engine, it delivers exceptional cutting performance, making it ideal for various lawn types and sizes. The engine’s overhead valve design enhances fuel efficiency and provides better torque.

The cutting deck is another impressive aspect of this lawn mower. It features a wide 42-inch cutting deck that allows for quicker mowing of large areas. The deck is equipped with a dual-blade system, which guarantees a clean and precise cut. Additionally, the adjustable cutting height gives users the flexibility to choose their preferred grass length, accommodating different lawn care preferences.

In terms of convenience, the Craftsman 917.273392 does not disappoint. The mower includes a hydrostatic transmission, which provides seamless shifting without the need for a clutch. This feature ensures a smooth operation, allowing the user to focus on mowing rather than managing gears. The ergonomic design of the control panel enhances user comfort, with easy-to-reach levers for controlling speed and cutting height.

Safety is also a priority in the Craftsman 917.273392 design. The mower is equipped with a safety switch that automatically shuts off the engine when the operator leaves the seat, preventing accidents and enhancing peace of mind during operation.

Another valuable characteristic of this mower is its mulching capability. The optional mulching kit enables users to finely chop grass clippings, returning nutrients back to the soil, which can improve lawn health over time. The rear bagger option adds further versatility, allowing for efficient collection and disposal of grass clippings.

Maintenance has been made simpler with the inclusion of easy-access features. The mower deck can be easily cleaned without having to reach underneath, and regular maintenance tasks such as oil changes are straightforward.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.273392 combines power, versatility, and user-centric design elements, making it a reliable choice for homeowners looking to maintain a well-manicured lawn with ease.
