917.27077 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27077 is a versatile and powerful garden tractor designed for homeowners who seek performance, reliability, and ease of use in their lawn care equipment. Engineered with a robust build and advanced technologies, it caters to a wide range of outdoor tasks, from mowing to hauling.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27077 is its 24-horsepower Kohler engine.
