My Sr1433 has a kohler engine any way to tell the year?
PEACE.

Unfortunately, Kohler has a really cryptic serial number system. You can find the year by taking all the numbers to a Snapper (or Kohler servicing) dealer. You need to know the 'series' as well.
There is no "digits xy are the year" like B&S.........
Sorry.
But in looking at your pics, I'd say it's close to the year of mine. The front tires are off an earlier Snapper, (the white rims gave it away, as did the diamond tread), but not sure if yours is earlier or later. The deck raising system looks different on yours. Mine has arms that bolt to the body and go out BEYOND the battery. (see the pics in the link I posted on your profile page)
But it's close to mine, and THAT'S a '96.
Use
this site to get parts - I do! You must enter the model number off the sticker. NOT 'SR1433'. I made that mistake, and you'll get nowhere. It's a six-digit number ending with the three letters "KVE"

You can get cosmetic as well as mechanical parts of every stripe. Good luck!
Let me know if you need help. I've become quite an expert in a couple weeks! LOL. But, I am no Kohler Guru. Disk drive? I know it...B&S? I'm good. But Kohler?
KennyV or
CajunCub are your best bet, and it's best to post your engine-specific questions in the
