Service history

V-twin engine delivers smooth operation and plenty of power

The 14.5 hp (10.81 kW) air cooled V twin engine delivers strong torque across a wide range of speeds, with full pressure lubrication for durability on uneven terrain. Its overhead valve design increases power and torque per cubic inch of displacement, improves fuel efficiency, and helps maintain cooler operating temperatures.

The fabricated floating deep deck provides a high-quality cut on diverse terrains. It features a durable construction with 10-gauge steel deck top, plus a 10-gauge spindle mounting plate, and 7-gauge side skirts with reinforcement bar.
