I have a 1973 S/S16 and I'm not sure that the mower deck that I have is the one that was sold with this tractor. deck # 917.251030 I would also like to know if you can still buy tires for this tractor I'm still on the orginals. I would like to repaint the tractor this winter dose someone have a guess at what the color yellow might be? And the hood is some kind of white. Thank for any help Jim
