917.273642 specifications

The Craftsman 917.273642 is a riding lawn mower designed to combine efficiency, power, and user comfort for homeowners managing sizable lawn areas. This model stands out as an essential gardening tool, specifically engineered to make mowing tasks simpler and more enjoyable.

One of the main features of the Craftsman 917.273642 is its robust 19.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine. This powerful engine ensures reliable starting and sufficient power to tackle tough grass and larger terrains. The mower also incorporates a smooth-running automatic transmission, allowing users to shift seamlessly between different speeds while maintaining control and stability.

Another key characteristic of this riding mower is its 42-inch cutting deck. This mid-sized deck provides an optimal balance between cutting efficiency and maneuverability, especially in tight spots or around obstacles. The deck is equipped with a six-position height adjustment system, enabling users to customize the cutting height according to the specific requirements of their lawn.

The Craftsman 917.273642 also features an innovative debris management system with side discharge capability, allowing clippings to be expelled directly to the side, providing a cleaner cut and reducing the need for bagging. For added convenience, the model is equipped with optional mulching capabilities, enabling users to finely chop grass clippings and return them to the lawn as natural fertilizer.

User comfort is paramount in the design of the Craftsman 917.273642. The mower incorporates a spacious and ergonomically designed seat, featuring a high back for enhanced support, ensuring users can operate the machine for extended periods without discomfort. The easy-to-reach controls are strategically located on the dashboard, allowing for a user-friendly experience.

In addition to its impressive features, the Craftsman 917.273642 comes with durability in mind. The heavy-duty steel frame and reinforced deck ensure that the mower can withstand the rigors of frequent use while providing a long life span.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.273642 is more than just a lawn mower. It represents a blend of modern technology, user-centric design, and the durability that the Craftsman brand is well known for, making it a valuable addition to any homeowner's gardening toolkit.
