Those tags are generally not too hard to find. Some are near the key switch or on a frame member.
Someone that is familiar with the model (or someone at Sears) should be able to tell you.

This is what I found:

Briggs and Stratton YBSXS.7242VF 274844
Sears calls the engine - 446777-0165-E1
Model # 917.273460
S/N 021803D003783

That is all I could find, I found a lot of safety and attention and read this first but nothing to show where she was manufactured. Maybe I could contact Sears, think they would know?

E-mail - FAILED!

Here is the response I received:

Good Morning Mr. Christian:

Thank you for contacting Sears regarding the location where your
Craftsman lawn mower was made!

We can appreciate wanting to locate the manufacturer information on your
Craftsman lawn mower. Regrettably, Sears Parts Direct is not able to
provide the manufacturer assistance you are looking for.

However, we offer great websites where you can ask expert technical
questions, arrange a service call, or find product manuals, all this and
more can be found at Sears Home Services: Installation, cleaning, repair, and home improvement help and Life Management: Everything just got easier - ManageMyLife.com

----------------------

So that is where I stand, I will send them another e-mail and see if they know how much weight my lawn tractor will hold.

Thanks
Dave

I have 2 55lb wheel weights on mine. As long as you use wheel weights, or fill the tires, it does not matter as you are not putting any stress on the frame or axles, just the rubber tires.

Good Point! Thanks, that makes me feel a little better.
