Went and grabbed my manual, mower is stored another 50 miles away until I pick her up this week.

Mine is the "K" model with the Kawasaki FB460V. I think the only variances are simply engine related.
FWIW mine was a fine mower. I bought it in near new condition with an estimated 80 hours use. NOS Kees were selling for about $200 more @ $1200, new Snappers another +$200. My first two seasons were easy and low hour usage. Never a problem. Third season I bought out a local operation and things got crazy fast. Lots of acreage, insane July rain and I had to hire help and add another mower. I had a really nice customized 4x6 trailer or I'd have gotten a 48 so I settled on an Encore 36. Great mower but another thread down the line as parts are ordered for that one too...LOL. Novel rig, Nissan pickup with a 36 and ramps in the bed, 36 and trim mower on the trailer. Wish I had pics but it worked. Shoulda been illegal!!
Where the Kees fell short was the skinny wheel drive assembly. It works just fine if you're not mowing soaked lawns or running through standing water. Workload demanded it and at the time most mowers weren't built like Scags with the Peerless and double-wide drive belts...Yep, Bobcat, Deere---even eXmark had skinny drive and 4 speed worm gear trannies. Fourth year I cut out the worst properties and went back to solo with occasional help which led to the Snapper being used for it's last cut. Snapped the key on a spindle, replaced the key and snapped it again. Didn't have time for spindle work with the Encore kicking grass. Started and ran it for years thinking I'd need that spare FB460V but never did. The Encore still runs and cuts after seeing much more use than the Snapper. Resale on the Snapper/Kees was pathetic, storage was a much better option to a guy who always pays cash.
If you need any parts lookup beyond the web links just lemme know, FWIW my Snapper manual features a good pic of the mower with a KEES decal on the gas tank LOL! Didn't even bother to shoot a new picture. An old buddy has the equivalent 48 but his has the 5 speed and big belts.
My first chore is going to be start-up but I plan on restoring mine to it's 1993 state ("used look" but with every critical moving part replaced). I'll get some pics up real soon.
