The engine uses a cartridge type air filter to prevent dust and other particulate matter from entering into the combustion chambers and potentially blocking them. This 2 cylinder engine has a total displacement of 0.81 liters. The engine transfers power to the wheels through a hydrostatic transmission that gives the PGT 9500 infinite speeds traveling forwards as well as when it’s reversing.

The engine on the Craftsman PGT9500 also powers the cutting deck. The mower deck on the PGT 9500 has a cutting widht of 54 inches.

For dealing with the grass clippings, you have the option of purchasing a mulching kit or rear bagger if you don’t plan on just discharging the clippings out the side of the mower deck.
