MODEL IDENTIFICATION
Hydro-Gear 0500 and 0650 Models are similar utilizing
the same brake linkage . Their engines and transmis-
sions are also similar. Their primary difference is the
linkage used to connect the transmission to the foot
pedal.
Tuff Torq K-56 Models are radically different from
Hydro-Gear Models. Tuff Torq models can be easily rec-
ognized by their Kohler engine.
Peerless Models are distinct in that they are gear drive
and require clutching.
