Requires manual consultation for specific displacement (e.g., around 200-250 cubic inches for typical tractors of this class).
Horsepower:
Requires manual consultation for specific horsepower figures.
Torque:
Requires manual consultation for specific torque figures.
Carburetion Injection:
Likely a carburetor, specific model to be detailed in manual (e.g., Zenith, Marvel-Schebler).
Fuel Type:
Gasoline or Diesel, depending on the RC model variant.
Type:
Manual transmission, likely a sliding gear type with multiple forward and reverse gears.
Gear Configurations:
