The Craftsman 132.82400 lawn tractor was built by Hiller and distributed by Craftsman (a part of Sears) during 1954-1955. It is essentially the same model as the Hiller Yard Hand 100. This tractor features a 1.7 hp Power Products 170 59cc 1-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine with manual recoil start. It has a 2-speed belt-drive transmission with mechanical idler pulley clutch and 3x2 2WD drive. The tractor has manual steering and an open operator station with a steel pan seat. Dimensions are 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, 36 inches high, and it weighs 131 lbs. Tires are 10x3.50-4 front and 14x4.50-6 rear. Attachments include a 20-inch towed rear-mount mower deck and several pull-type accessories such as a reel mower, lawn roller, dump cart, and drop-spreader. The serial number tag is located on the rear below the seat.
