There are two bogies on each side, each bogie having three bogie wheels, two bearing on the outside and one on the middle of the tractor. Clutch and brake steering are provided. The power plant is a 4-cylinder, water-cooled, gasoline engine. The cylinder block is of two separate sections. Each section is joined into one piece at the top, but the base of each cylinder is separate from all other cylinders.
