Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.388300 is a piece of gardening equipment produced by Sears. This mower is categorized as a 21-inch multi-cut rotary lawn mower. Its primary use lies in residential yard maintenance. The product brings together several features that aid in this function.
One of its key features is a 6.0 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine with a recoil start. It also includes a 7-position height adjustment feature that ranges from 1-1/4 to 4 inches. This offers flexibility in determining the height of the cut grass. The mower has the capability for rear bagging, mulching, and side discharge.
