I recently purchased a used Sears Craftsman GT 3000 garden Tractor Model # 917.275040. The serial# is 3100303371. I was told that the year of the tractor can be found in the first few digits of the serial number. I am not sure if my serial number reflects a March 10th of '03 or March 1st of '00 manufacture date. I want to find a good used snow thrower attachment for my tractor before this winter.
I was wondering if any one out there can tell me what year my tractor is and what snow thrower model numbers are compatible with it.

Grateful for any input
Troy

Hi,
The Manage My Life site was down yesterday, but is up today. You have a Kohler CV674 Type 75544 and the link to the service manual is:

And the Owners manual:

And a picture to help with the engine numbers.
Peace,
Clarke
PS This was unable to be posted last night, problems here then. The picture is in the first section of the service manual.
