To find the model number of a Craftsman DGS 6500 garden tractor, check the operator's manual, as it usually lists the model number. Alternatively, look for a label or sticker on the tractor itself, typically located under the seat or on the frame near the engine. The model number may also be found on the rear or side of the tractor. If you still can’t locate it, you can contact Craftsman customer support for assistance.
