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 hp Briggs & Stratton single, 22 hp Briggs &
Stratton twin, 20 hp Kohler twin, 20 hp Honda twin, or
a 23 hp Kohler twin cylinder engine. The engine has
a pressurized oil lubrication system with spin-on type
filter, fused electronic ignition, electric start and an 8 gal-
lon 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 44” or 52” cut-
ting widths. The mower has three cutting blades, dri-
ven by an electromagnetic clutch through a single v-
belt.
