I agree with NCT, probably mid 80's to early 90's magnum. Splined axles, hydraulic brakes, although my old 93 magnum had a mesh screen above the exhaust pipe to relieve heat from the muffler. Hope this helps.

When you look at the engine photo you'll notice the ignition coil is externally mounted to the engine. This identifies the engine as a KT17 not a Magnum. KT17 is 12 volt battery ignition with points and condenser. The M18 engine had solid state ignition and was mounted under the fan shroud adjacent to the flywheel magnets. The first Magnum 18 powered vehicles started production in 1985 so yours is older than an 85. Probably between 1981 and 1984. From what I can see hydraulic brakes would have been introduced around 1981. This means you have a "KB" model which identifies it as a Kohler powered 8 wheel I/C model.

No Tecumseh powered I/C's were manufactured,.......however here's the breakdown of models: Model T = 6 wheel standard
Model HT = 6 wheel heavy duty
Model TB = 8 wheel standard
Model HTB = 8 wheel heavy duty
The difference between the std. and HD models is the HD's used the double wide chain and sprockets.
