Is it a hydrostat or gear transmission ?

I recently bought (for $50, non working condition) and fixed up a
little a used 10 HP Sears Craftsman garden tractor.

It is relatively heavy. Maybe 300 lbs or so. With me on it, it would
be 475 lbs.

Sometimes I need to move heavy things. Can I use this tractor to help
them move along? Is the transmission/drive/engine designed for that?

As a related thought, do they take snow plowing attachments?

thanks
