The 640 was equipped with a Ford 134 cubic inch (2.2L) gasoline engine producing around 31 horsepower. This engine was known for its reliability and ease of maintenance. The transmission was typically a 4-speed manual gearbox, providing adequate gearing for a variety of tasks. The PTO delivered around 27 horsepower at 540 RPM.
