Craftsman walk behind 917.370931

[Action]

I purchased a used Craftsman Platinum Walk behind mower. It is a 7.25 ft # 190cc engine.
Have no clue as to year.
Do have model number and serial number.

Engine starts well, runs well.
However, the plastic rear chute door is bungied closed.
Would really like to buy a replacement door (430653 and known as 424207) however they are no longer available.

Found one in Singapore and rather leery of buying a part from that source.
There is a seller on ebay that had a correct door that has been sold. That seller is using the same picture with a part number that is slightly different.

How do I tell when was this mower made?
Assuming it is rather old, is there a source of used parts for this mower available other than eBay?
Thanks in advance for any consideration.

I don’t know where you got those part numbers, but when I search your model number I come up with part number 581747804 for the rear door.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I got the 430653 number from the Sears Parts Direct website using the model number.

I have gotten that part number too. Plus other numbers.
However, none have lead me to a replacement.
The current one is zip tied and bungie corded. Which isn't the best as it doesn't seal very well.

Would like to find a new one. And I would be good with a used one that fits.

Seeking some source for either.

Google search using the part number I listed shows many available.

Yes, there are a lot of sites that show the part number.
After I go to the site, the item is no longer available.

I have not found a site that has one.

I have been to the following sites that show the part #
Sears Parts Direct
Stafford Equipment
Lawn Replacement Parts
Appliance part Pros
Parts Warehouse
DR Mower Parts
Fix.com
Tools Moito
Authorized Husqvarna Parts Dealer
Plus eBay & Amazon

If you find a site that has it in stock, I am so there!

Thanks!
The second link is ......
Out Of Stock
Usually ships within 4 - 14 days
It is shown on the right side of the page. Not the best laid out.


The first link I would like to place an order. There is no button to click or to add to cart. Even though I created an account.
I called the # and they are closed for now.
They are in Illinois, and I am in Phoenix.

I will call in the morning to see if they have and buy it if they do.

I will post back my result either way.

Only thing I can suggest at this point is to check every repair shop and small engine boneyard within your area for a used one. I’m lucky as I have a huge boneyard about 75 miles from me that has bailed me out multiple times.

A boneyard of mowers would be a very nice thing.

Thanks so much for your support to this point.
