Nothing like a car, it's got 18hp. Hydro-static transmission under the seat driven by a belt attached to the vertical shaft engine.
Looks something like this.
Wheels c-clip onto the axle, located by a key-way, with a drive pulley under the fan driven by the engine.
Mine has the smaller transmission that's prone to overheating and cooking the oil. If it doesn't boil out first. (10w40 lol) Axle manufacturer specs full synthetic, but deere puts dino oil in, and they fail prematurely. This has a reservoir and beefier internals.
