:question: I bought a Craftsman mower today.

On the hood it says (Craftsman-11) 18 HP-Twin DieHard Briggs & Stratton

18/42 5-speed near step/rb

Deck says (QC-System 3in1 Convertible 42')

Under seat says
SEARS
(Model# 917.257562)

(Serial# 090794A-004313)


Thanks for any info. Bronson

P.S.I would go to Sears page but I cant use PDF Format.

If I am not mistaken, the 1st 6 numbers of the serial number are the manufacture date. So the 090794 would be September 7th, 1994.

And it would not hurt to confirm this at AYP.

Thanks Bob, That is also what TechDave told me. He said the 2nd 6 numbers following the production date is the amount of that model made up to the numberd date.
