I purchased a running Husqvarna riding garden tractor at a steal from a lawn sale. It's in good condition, new belts, no squeaks, starts on the first crank. Problem is, I can't find a model number on it, most of the stickers have been removed and I can't seem to be able to identify the unit from the engine size and deck size.
Here's the configuration:
42" deck
17.5 HP Kohler Command
Hydro Drive (foot pedal front/reverse)
Deck height adjustment lever in left rear fender
Ammeter on console
Throttle lever high on left console
Brake lock on lower left console
Blade drive engagement high on right console top
"Ramscoop" on engine cowl
The shape of the mower is more like the newer streamlined units, shark-like, not blocky
If anyone thinks they know the model number, I would be greatly appreciative.

Well a picture would help. :thumbsup: And none of the current GT's have Kohler Command engines, so we can limit it down to older models.
Having worked for several dealerships, sometimes the detail/washing guy get the wrong hoods back on the wrong tractors, so this model would be like an lth1742, but look at the tag under the seat to know for sure
Here is the under the seat label... Any chance this is a model Husqvarna LTH1842?

That is the tag off of the transmission. I tried running the number back ways but no luck. Look for a tag on the back of the ractor, or where one was, just click a few random pix.
I would agree with you, however the control layout and mower fascia that the 1742 manual shows don't match up with this model, the 1842's do. So either I got some mid model year Frankenstein, or a redneck Frankenstein mower. who knows. It's possible the under-hood model matches up, the prior owner wore out the 48" inch deck and popped a 42" on there...

Yeah, it could easily be an 1842. The h.p. stickers on the engines can vary a h.p. or two on the same engine, looking at the blowup of the number on the hood,
it is definitely not the mower you have.
