The powertrain is based  on an air-cooled, 8 horsepower Briggs \u0026amp; Stratton engine bought new for the job attached to a continously  variable transmission, giving variable speeds in both forward and reverser from  a handle at the rear of the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWell-detailed, the bodywork has louvred panels to the engine  compartment, three hinged access panels on each side with another on top giving  access to the fuel tank filler. The cab is fully glazed, with the rear windows  sliding down to give access to the dashboard for driving.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine has both recoil and electric start, with a large  dry-fit battery located under the dashboard in the cab. Electrics are the  Achilles heel of the plot - it really wants stripping out and re-wiring in  something considerably heavier duty if the electric starter is used on a regular  basis.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 48 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 28 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Width 17 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 200 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019905487189,"sku":"3914","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3914-1.webp?v=1779908266","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-petrol-hydraulic-stock-code-3914","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
