It runs a three-cylinder Shibaura diesel (the ID plate in the manual shows the S723 engine) with a 23:1 compression ratio and a rated speed of 2500 rpm, and the manual prints 13.5 observed PTO horsepower for both transmissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard gearbox gives three gears in each of two ranges, for 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds and a top speed of 9.4 mph. The optional hydrostatic drive uses a rocker pedal with High and Low ranges, up to 9.6 mph forward and 6.0 mph in reverse, plus a speed control lever that holds a set forward speed. The rear PTO turns 540 rpm at 2385 engine rpm on gear tractors and 2300 rpm on H.S.T. tractors, and a mid PTO was optional. Brakes are wet disc, steering is manual, and the live Category 1 three-point linkage is fed by a gear pump rated 4.65 U.S. gpm. With ROPS the two-wheel drive gear tractor weighs 1292 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull engine, capacity, hydraulic, tire, torque, dimension and ground speed figures are listed on
