Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 7hp 246cc yellow body mower, sears craftsman, assembley

Question
I also have aquired an old sears craftsman rider.
model # 131-96920 7 horse, 246cc 15" chain drive.

i'm curious if you have any information on this thing.
production year, or manual site?

I'm converting it to a go-kart for my 8 year old son, it does not have the blade assembley, and there is no spark.
any information would help.. thank you.
