I went on and took a pic of it so you could see it. It is 1/4" thick steel plate, OD is 11 3/4" x 9". 4 holes to mount in the standard frame holes, and 4 holes for the KT-17 with a hole for the oil drain. In case you never checked the holes for the Kohler mount, they are directional. The 2 on the PTO side frame rail are closer together than the 2 on the fan side frame rail. If your frame is old enough it won't have 2 notches in the right side, you will have to make them as well, they are for the bolt heads that mount the 17, nuts go on the top.
If you decide to make one and need more measurements let me know.

Thanks Geno, thats the type I’m hunting.
I’ve been thinking I’d have to make one and the measurements will likely be very helpful.
I just figured I’d post a wanted add first.
I’ve been pondering grabbing one from a 500 series from eBay and drilling it but I doubt it would look right.

I took some pictures to help me explain what I’m up to, probably should have led with them 
I’m somewhat downsizing and swapping engines and other parts to build and keep what I’d consider my ideal herd.
My grey work horse that my uncle bought new in 85 (it’s an 84 model) will be back on mowing duty. I robbed the engine off my 165 to bring it back to life.
The 175 is a pos mut but has a great series 2 wheel horse spec replacement engine. That’s going in the 165. I’ve got a 417 that’s original and in near perfect condition. I like that setup better than the shaker mount so wanna incorporat that style setup on a black hood
