Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 12.5 hp (9.3 kW) Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. This 2-cylinder, air-cooled unit utilizes a vertical-shaft configuration, which is optimized for integration with mower decks. The system uses a 12-volt electric starter for simplified operation.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine utilizes a Peerless belt-driven gear transmission, providing 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a two-wheel drive system. A manual clutch allows the operator to engage or disengage the transmission and implement drives as needed.

The tractor is steered manually and utilizes disc brakes to manage stopping. The open operator station is designed for accessibility, while the lawn/turf tires—15x6.00-6 on the front and 22x7.50-12 on the rear—are selected to provide traction while minimizing soil compaction.
