917.373841 specifications

The Craftsman 917.373841 is a notable riding lawn mower that showcases a blend of power, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology. Ideal for homeowners with medium to large lawns, it combines functionality with user-friendly features, making lawn care a more enjoyable and manageable task.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.373841 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a robust 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, this mower provides ample power for tackling tough grass and uneven terrain. The engine’s reliability ensures consistent performance, so users can count on it for every mowing session.

The mower features a 42-inch cutting deck, designed to offer a wide cutting range while still allowing easy maneuverability in tight spaces. The deck height is adjustable, allowing users to customize the cutting length according to their preferences and the season. This flexibility is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn, as different grass types require different cutting heights to thrive.

In terms of comfort, the Craftsman 917.373841 is equipped with a comfortable, high-back seat that provides support during extended mowing sessions. The ergonomic steering wheel and easy-to-reach controls ensure that users can operate the mower with minimal strain, enhancing the overall mowing experience.

Additionally, this riding mower features a hydrostatic transmission, which allows for smooth speed transitions without the need for shifting gears. This technology contributes to an effortless driving experience, as operators can easily adjust their speed to match the terrain and their mowing needs.

Another impressive characteristic is the mower's mulching capability. With the optional mulching kit, users can finely chop grass clippings and return them to the lawn, promoting nutrient recycling and healthier grass growth. This environmentally friendly feature not only saves time but also reduces waste.

Finally, the Craftsman 917.373841 exemplifies durability and longevity, backed by the quality assurance that Craftsman is known for. The heavy-duty steel frame and rugged construction ensure that it withstands the wear and tear of regular use, making it a valuable investment for any homeowner seeking to maintain their yard.
