DESCRIPTION

The Zero Turn riding mower is intended for use on lawns and other frequently maintained areas where

a smooth, even cut is desired and superior maneu- verability is needed. The tractor unit consists of either a 17.5 hp Briggs & Stratton single, 18 hp Briggs & Stratton twin, or 20 hp Kohler twin cylinder engine. The engines have a pressurized oil lubrication system with spin-on type filter, fused electronic ignition, electric start and an 8 gallon fuel system.

Two hydrostatic transaxles are used for propelling and steering. The pumps are belt driven by the engine output shaft. One lever for each drive con- trols both speed and direction. This independent control of each drive wheel coupled with continuous- ly variable speed selection gives the Zero Turn mower exceptional maneuverability.

The mower attachment is available in 36” or 42” cut- ting widths. The mower has two cutting blades, dri- ven by an electromagnetic clutch through a single v- belt.
