The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 253707 gasoline engine. This single-cylinder, air-cooled unit features a vertical shaft design and a displacement of 399 cc (24.36 ci), with a bore and stroke of 87 x 67 mm. It delivers a gross power output of 11 hp (8.2 kW), sufficient for standard mowing operations. The engine is equipped with an electric starter operating on a 12-volt system.

The unit is equipped with a 38-inch mower deck for grass cutting. It includes an independent rear power take-off (PTO), which allows for the operation of additional implements. Steering is handled manually, and the operator station is an open-platform design, providing direct access to controls and visibility during operation.
