Hi,
You have your model number wrong for firsts; 13AF608G062 is correct best I can tell. How I know is that the "AF" are year, etc. codes and the "G" is the 42" deck.
Your owners manual is available online from MTD at:
PDF Manual Web Archive
And use a 1 as the serial number. I know it is there because this picture came from it!
Peace,
Clarke
