DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Engine

These McCulloch ride-on mowers have single cylinder,
air-cooled engines from Briggs & Stratton.
Major engine repairs are not described in this workshop
manual. This information can be found in Briggs & Stratton's
own manuals, which include detailed information about
engine adjustments and repairs. These manuals can be
ordered from an authorized servicing dealer.
It is important that only original spare parts are used to repair
the engines. If other parts are used, the guarantee is
invalidated.

Steering

The ride-on mowers have rear-wheel steering. Steering
forces from the steering wheel are transferred to the rear
wheel via a wire.

Drive Unit

McCulloch M105-97F has a manual gearbox with three
forward gears, neutral and one reverse gear.
