E110 Lawn Tractor

A 19-hp (14.2-kW) single-cylinder engine has plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:

• Electronic ignition for fast starts
• Spring-return feature to ensure the operator will not mistakenly leave the throttle lever in the choke position
• Cast-iron cylinder liner for long engine life
• Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
• Anti-vibration system 
• Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for cleaner oil, prolonging engine life and extending the time between oil changes
  • More effective when operating the tractor on an incline
• Large fuel filter for trouble-free operation

No-tools oil drain valve is easy to access when changing engine oil.

Fuel tank has gauge to show fuel level from the operator's seat

The fuel tank gauge shows how much fuel is in the tank and can be seen without leaving the operator's seat:

• Easy to check fuel level
• Convenient location

Fuel tank:

• The capacity is 2.4 U.S. gal. (9.1 L).
• The fuel-filler opening is conveniently located under the seat. 
  • Filling the tank without spilling is easy.
  • A tethered fuel tank cap is more convenient.

• One-piece, steel fender deck is bolted to the frame.

Cast-iron front axle will not bend

The front axle is constructed of solid cast iron that will not bend:

• Automotive-like steering system with sector and pinion steering gears and single drag link with a tie rod provides a very strong, low-effort, and tight-turning system.
• Three grease fittings, on both steering spindles and center pivot, allow for regular lubrication to help maintain easy steering and minimize wear.
• Large, 0.75-in. (1.9-cm) diameter wheel spindles provide excellent durability.

The mower deck is engaged with an easy-to-see and easy-to-use yellow lever on the dashboard. Its placement on the right side leaves a lot of room on the left, the entry side of the tractor, for the operator to get on and off the tractor.

Reverse implement option (RIO)

Using RIO

CAUTION: Children or bystanders may be injured by rotating blades. Before traveling forward or rearward:

• Carefully check the area around the machine.
• Disengage the mower before backing up.

 

NOTE: Backing up while the mower is engaged is strongly discouraged. RIO should be used only when operating another attachment or when the operator deems it necessary to reposition the machine with the mower engaged.

 

1. Stop forward travel.
2. Look behind the machine to be sure there are no bystanders.
3. Push and hold in the RIO switch while depressing the reverse pedal slightly for a hydrostatic transmission or moving the transmission shift lever to the rear slot (reverse) for a continuously variable transmission (CVT)/automatic transmission.

 

NOTE: If the engine and mower or other attachment stops while repositioning the machine, return the attachment engagement lever/switch to the off position. Start the engine and engage mower or other attachment. Begin again with step 2.

 

4. Release the RIO switch and reposition the machine as the machine begins to move rearward.
5. Resume forward travel. The mower or other attachment should continue operating.
6. Repeat procedure to position the machine again.
