The tractor is powered by a Minneapolis KE engine, which has 4 cylinders and runs on distillate fuel. This liquid-cooled engine has a displacement of 283.7 cubic inches, which is quite large for a tractor of its time.

The KTA is a heavy-duty machine, weighing in at 4,300 pounds. It's 131 inches long and 64.5 inches tall, making it a sizable piece of equipment. One unique feature of this tractor is its steel wheels instead of rubber tires.

These steel wheels were common on older tractors and provided good traction in muddy fields. The engine runs at 1,150 RPM when working hard, and it has a coolant capacity of 24 quarts to keep it running smoothly in hot weather.
