917.271742 specifications

The Craftsman 917.271742 lawn tractor is a versatile and powerful machine designed for homeowners seeking a reliable solution for lawn maintenance. This model is known for its robust performance, user-friendly features, and innovative technologies that make mowing a breeze.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.271742 is its powerful engine. It is equipped with a 24 HP Briggs & Stratton V-Twin engine that provides significant power and efficiency. This engine ensures that the tractor can handle various terrains, from flat lawns to slightly hilly landscapes, without any struggle. The V-Twin design allows for smoother operation and reduced noise, making mowing less of a chore.

The mower deck of the Craftsman 917.271742 is another notable characteristic. With a cutting width of 54 inches, it allows for efficient mowing of larger areas in a shorter amount of time. The deck is made of heavy-duty steel, ensuring durability and longevity. Additionally, it features a deck wash system, making cleanup after mowing quick and easy. Operators can simply connect a hose to the deck wash port for a hassle-free cleaning experience.

Comfort is also a top priority in the design of the Craftsman 917.271742. The tractor comes with an ergonomic seat that is adjustable and padded, providing the user with comfort during extended mowing sessions. The steering wheel is designed for easy maneuverability, making it simple to navigate around obstacles in the yard.

Another feature that enhances the machine's usability is the hydrostatic transmission. This innovative technology allows for smooth acceleration and deceleration without the need for complicated gear shifting. As a result, operators can focus more on mowing and less on managing the transmission.

For added convenience, the Craftsman 917.271742 includes a variety of attachments and accessories. It can be outfitted with a bagger, mulching kit, or snow plow, making it a versatile tool for year-round use. The lights integrated into the front of the tractor also allow for safe mowing in low-light conditions.

In summary, the Craftsman 917.271742 lawn tractor combines power, comfort, and versatility. With its robust engine, wide mowing deck, hydrostatic transmission, and optional attachments, it offers homeowners an efficient and user-friendly solution for maintaining their lawns effectively. Whether tackling large spaces or navigating tight corners, this tractor is built to deliver optimal performance in various lawn care tasks.
