I believe on those models the ID decal was on the fender deck underneath the seat. The 312-8 had three different Kohler engines on them depending on the year made. The earlier models had the old K-series Kohlers, the late 80s and early 90s had the Magnum series, and the late 90's to early 2000s had the Command series Kohlers on them. If you can't find the id decal for whatever reason, then identifying the series of Kohler engine will help pinpoint the year range made.
 
Having a Magnum in it will put it in the range of 1987 through 1997.
