917.273763 specifications

The Craftsman 917.273763 is a powerful and versatile lawn mower designed to meet the needs of residential users seeking reliability and performance. This machine stands out in the crowded market of lawn care equipment due to its robust features, advanced technology, and user-friendly design.

One of the primary characteristics of the Craftsman 917.273763 is its efficient 25-horsepower engine. This powerful engine ensures that the mower can easily handle thick grass and challenging terrain, providing a clean and even cut every time. The mower's cutting deck measures 54 inches, which strikes a balance between maneuverability and efficiency. This size allows users to cover larger areas in less time, making it an excellent choice for homeowners with expansive lawns.

The cutting height is adjustable, enabling users to select from multiple cutting positions based on their lawn's needs. This flexibility not only promotes healthier grass growth but also accommodates different landscaping styles. The mower is equipped with a dual-blade system, which enhances grass cutting performance and helps to produce fine clippings that can be left on the lawn as natural mulch.

One of the standout technologies in the Craftsman 917.273763 is its electronic ignition system, which provides reliable starting performance every time. This innovation eliminates the guesswork often associated with traditional ignition systems and enhances overall ease of use. Additionally, the mower comes with a hydrostatic transmission, which offers smooth and effortless speed adjustments. Users can shift seamlessly from forward to reverse, a feature that greatly enhances maneuverability, especially in tight spaces.

Comfort is another key aspect of this mower's design. The operator's seat is cushioned and adjustable, allowing users to find their preferred position for prolonged mowing sessions. The steering wheel is ergonomically designed, and controls are within easy reach, making it user-friendly for individuals of all ages.

Safety features are also integral to the Craftsman 917.273763. It includes blade brake technology, ensuring that the mower's blades stop within seconds of releasing the drive lever. This feature significantly reduces the risk of accidents.

In summary, the Craftsman 917.273763 stands out due to its powerful engine, adjustable cutting capabilities, comfortable design, and advanced technologies. Whether managing a small yard or a larger property, this mower delivers the performance and reliability homeowners need for maintaining a pristine lawn.
