Craftsman riding mowers and also the 33" wide cut walk behind mower are all made by MTD. Most of the regular push and self propelled model Craftsman mowers are made by AYP. However Craftsman does have one 21" cut self propelled model that is made by MTD and it looks identical to the Troy-Bilt and Bolens models sold at Lowes and the Garden-Way model sold at Sams Club.

Looking at your blade from under the mower view. If it turns clockwise it will have reverse threads. If the blade rotates counter clockwise it will have the most common thread which tightens with your wrench in a clockwise direction.
