Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know this fan fits my Craftsman tractor? A: Measure the existing fan diameter and shaft type, and check your transmission model, since the hydro gear unit serial number determines exact fit.

Q: Can this fan be installed without removing the transmission? A: In most cases yes, but you may need to access the underside of the tractor and remove any debris shields or belts for clearance.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
