Thunder Bolt  I have a sears lawn tractor I bought used. the model number is  917 256 580 . Serial number is 010596A. I am trying to find out what year model this lawn tractor is. The man I got it from had taken the deck off and got rid or it. It came with a 42" deck and I would like to find a good used deck to go on it.  Thanks for your time
