The Poulan 14542LT Garden Tractor Mower is one of Poulan’s less powerful garden tractors. It has a power of only 14. 5 CV. Models larger and more powerful than this include the Poulan PO15538LT and Poulan PO17542LT lawn tractors. The 14. 5 hp engine that powers the 14542 LT is a PowerBuilt model with a displacement of 0. 5 liters. This 1 cylinder engine is prevented from overheating with an air cooling system. The motor is started by a 12 volt battery. Moving parts run smoothly thanks to a splash lubrication system. The gasoline engine is fed from a tank that can hold up to 5. 7 liters of fuel.
Power from the Poulan 14542LT’s engine is delivered to the wheels via a gearshift Peerless manual transmission that provides the riding mower with 6 forward and 1 reverse speeds. Its top speed is 8. 9 km/h and 2. 7 km/h when reversing. The engine also drives the mower deck. The 14542 LT’s deck is 42 inches wide and made of stamped steel. This means you have far fewer connections or weak points that can break or fracture compared to a bolt-on or weld-on mower deck.
The operator on the Poulan 14542LT Garden Tractor can raise and lower the mower deck from as low as 1. 5 inches to as high as 4 inches above the ground he is cutting. This is done in steps of 0. 5 inches. The 2 blades housed inside the mower deck are special Hi-Performance blades. They are raised/lowered by a spring-assisted manual lever. While the 14542 LT mower typically returns grass clippings to your lawn, there is also the option of purchasing a rear bagger to collect them or even a BioClip mulching kit to mulch them.
