Your kohler 17 horse twin v in a lawn tractor heats up after about an hour of running to the point that it shuts off any suggestions?

If it runs that long I would rule out a gas problem. It is more than likely one of two things.
1) Either you ignition (coil) is getting hot and breaking down.
2) Or, the engine itself it overheating. This is usually caused by debris under the metal engine cover. A simple cleaning will take care of this problem.

What causes Craftsman Lawn Tractor engine to die when it gets hot and restart after it cools down?
I have a Sears Craftsman LT 1000 17 Horsepower Kohler engine, and I had the same problem. I used some gasoline additive as well, check your oil level. It appears if the oil level is low the engine heats up and shuts down. I believe it is a safety mechanism, so it saves your engine. So add some oil, maybe a little gasoline additive and you should be good to go!
