I was given a Sears TYS4500, model 917.289903 with a 26HP Kohler Spec: PA-SV735-3021. There's always a story with something given away.
The givers neighbor bought it new and very soon after it was delivered the engine "failed". Sears came out and replaced the failed engine under warranty.
According to the giver the owner never cranked up the new engine. It is missing the deck...hummmm?

My question is what decks will fit this mower or this the particular model have a unique deck? 26HP...blows me away.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the info. I'm going to buy one as seen or do some junk yard diving to come up with an economical solution to finish this one out.

I appreciate your input and information.

That tractor was built in 2010-2013. As mechanic mark stated it uses a 54-inch deck off a 917. tractor. Almost any 54-inch deck will work as long as the mounting brackets on the top of the deck are two in the back and one in the front.
The TYS4500 is a lawn tractor - not a garden tractor so it uses the K46 transmission and 20-inch rear tires. But a 54-inch deck off a GT series tractor will work as long as it has the 2 mounts in the rear and one in front.
A deck off a 247. tractor will not work.
