Post the Sears 917.xxxxxx number.
It may matter more than you think!
Some Kohlers may or may not have Smart Spark and/or alternator brake etc.

The schematic in your Owners Manual should have some of the color codes.

I'd also go to the Kohler website and down load the Service Manual for your specific engine for the "engine side" electrical.

That is one of the jokes in the manual of my John Deere LT155. There are pages and pages of warnings, such as don't put your hand in the rotating blades, don't smoke when pouring gasoline, don't touch the hot engine. don't run over your toes when moving the tractor.

The only warning that is not in the manual is the one to keep the muffler box clear of debris. This box is a shield around the actual muffler and is under the tractor between the front wheels. It is a perfect place for grass clipping to collect, BUT unless you make it a point to check it is not obvious when debris is in there.

The only safety problem I have every had with the tractor, was when the grass in the box caught fire. I was mowing a long when I smelled grass burn. I checked all around the yard but continued a 100 feet before I notice smoke coming from under the tractor. Fortunately I was able to put it our before any damage was done to the tractor.

HHMMMM. the engine compartment looked pretty clean in that photo.

RCBE, is it OK to pressure wash your Craftsman when it is burning?

it all depends, rollergirl.. if it wus you doin the deed, would certainly suggest you don yer favorite snorkel mask - better than almost drownin like whut happened to you last time you pulled thet trigger...
