Is it a hydrostat or gear transmission ?

Honestly, I do not know, but my guess would be gear or belts. I just
got the engine running (the seller could not get it to run) and was
happy with that.


The easy way to tell is to see if it has a lever that has several steps for
the speed (gear type) of if it has a foot peddle that you mash on like a gas
peddle in a car that will give you a smooth control of the speed (hydrostat)
