Looking for service manual for Craftsman riding mower.

Craftsman 42 " rider Kohler 22 HP, Hydrostat Model # 917.986410 S/N 022614A002537
I believe I cooked my stator and amp meter pegged all the way to right, fried that I guess. While engine on ( for a short time wires going to amp meter are warm.)
Who knows what else is fried, I seen a little smoke coming out of flywheel for about 5 -10 seconds. This all started when I tried to charge my weak or dead batter with a batter charger
and possibly had too many amps cranked up on the charger.
Thanks in advance.

Vey unlikely
The charging system can handle 20 amps and not many battery charges will put 20 A out
However if you hooked it up backwards then that is a different matter
No manuals from Craftsman
Kohler engine manual is a free download from Kohler

Thank you, although If I'm reading correctly the manual for the Kohler 22 HP twin engine calls for RTV as a gasket, what am I missing . Do I need the rubber or paper gaskets as well as the RTV . Manual also states to torque the 4 bolts to 85 in pounds. I will replace both gaskets , the one is leaking a small amount on the muffler pipe and smokes for about a minute after warm up then dissipates. Appreciate the help.
