Toro LT 11-38 Pro Lawn Tractor

The Toro LT 11-38 Pro is a lawn tractor manufactured between 1986 and 1987. Designed for residential grounds maintenance, this model emphasizes functional simplicity and mechanical reliability.

Engine and Performance

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.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The drivetrain utilizes a Peerless 801 transmission, which is a belt-driven gear system. It provides the operator with five forward gears and one reverse gear, allowing for speed adjustment based on terrain conditions. The tractor features a two-wheel-drive configuration.

Operation and Equipment

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.

Conclusion

The Toro LT 11-38 Pro is a straightforward, utility-focused lawn tractor suited for homeowners requiring a basic machine for lawn mowing and light garden tasks. Its mechanical simplicity and standard 38-inch cutting width make it a representative model of late-1980s residential lawn care equipment.
