Background

The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.38327 is a gas-operated lawn mower, produced by the Roper Corporation for Sears under the Craftsman brand. This mower is suitable for use in mid-sized yards up to half an acre. It is equipped with a 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine, which is started by means of a standard recoil mechanism. The mower has a steel deck that spans 21 inches and a handle that can be folded for compact storage.

The mower has a cutting height range of 1.5 to 4 inches, adjustable across 6 different settings. It features 7-inch front wheels and 8-inch rear wheels, dual point height adjusters, and a zone start switch which enables the mower to start with the bail engaged. Maintenance for this mower involves changing the engine oil after the initial 5 hours of operation, and subsequently every 50 hours or at the end of the mowing season. The air filter requires regular inspection and replacement when dirty. The underside of the mower deck should also be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of grass clippings and debris. The blade should be sharpened or replaced periodically to maintain its cutting performance.
