The Craftsman 28672 Professional 42 Inch, 24 HP Lawn Mower is marketed towards gardening professionals (which should be obvious from the name alone!), but is also very popular with individual homeowners as well. The 24 horsepower engine that powers this garden tractor lawn mower is designed and built by Briggs and Stratton. It’s a twin cylinder model with overhead valves. The engine uses a fully pressurized lubrication system and has cast iron cylinder liners. The total displacement of the engine inside this lawnmower comes to 0.724 liters and it is started by a 12 volt battery.

Power from the engine on the Craftsman 28672 Professional 42 Inch, 24 HP garden tractor lawnmower is transferred to the wheels through a hydrostatic transmission which is controlled with a foot pedal by the operator. This drives the rear wheels which have dimensions of 20×8 (20 inch diameter, 8 inch width) while the front wheels which are responsible for steering the lawnmower each measure 15×6 (15 inch diameter, 6 inch width). The fuel tank which supplies the 24 hp Briggs and Stratton engine with gasoline can hold up to 11.4 liters (3 US gallons).

The 42 inch mower deck on the Craftsman 28672 Professional 42 Inch 24 HP garden tractor is made from 12 gauge steel and has 2 mower blades inside it. The deck is floating and uses 4 anti scalping wheels to make sure that it follows the contours of the ground that you are traveling over to give a very even cut to your lawn, even if the ground is uneven. Besides mowing your lawn, you can also use the Craftsman 28672 Professional lawn mower for other jobs. You can attach either a snowblower or front blade to it to clear your driveway during the winter or a rear attached bagger to collect the grass clippings while you mow. Larger machines in the Professional series from Craftsman include the Craftsman 28985 Professional Premium 54″ 30 HP lawn mower and the Craftsman 28981 Professional 26 hp 50″ lawnmower.
