    Rislone Compression Repair

    I just had to post this because I was so amazed. I have an L225 that has a steady stream of blue smoke when running at top speed. It wasn't a thick or heavy smoke, just a light constant stream of it. You could definatly smell the oil in it. Just for grins, I put a bottle of Rislone...

    L225 Drawbar?

    I know the one's your talking about. They hold the muffler bracket. I wasn't sure if two bolts would be enought to handle any real punishment. I was hoping to do some fence row clearing and pull up some shrubs, but haven't figured out a good way of doing it yet. I'll have to study it some more.

    L225 Drawbar?

    Anyone know of a drawbar that can be mounted to the underside of an L225? There doesn't seem to be a safe place to hook a chain without worry of rollover.

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    Nothing that doesn't have the same discontinued part number. There is not a parts list for the individual parts, it came as an assembly only. I've searched all over the internet and found nothing so far.

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    I've got an I&T manual, but it doesn't have a lot to say about the operation of the spool valve other than how to remove and reinstall it. There is a diagram of it, and there's not much too it. I think yours is a bit more complicated than mine. This just has three positions, up-neutral-and...

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    Maybe I need some help understanding this. I guess I don't see what the spool valve has to do with this. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if the flow control valve(under the seat) is in the lock position, and the cylinder is full of fluid, there should be no way for the fluid to exit back...

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    I'm really perplexed now. I went ahead and honed out the cylinder till it was nice and smooth. I put the piston back in it and filled it with oil and put the cylinder head on and turned the flow control to lock. I then put it on the shop press and pressed down on the piston. I couldn't get...

    L225 Hydraulic Lift

    Hello, I recently bought an L225 and realized the lift would not stay up when I attached a mower to it. I pulled the lift cylinder and pistion out and did notice that the Oring between the cylinder and cylinder head had a worn area, so I figured, simple fix! Well I replaced all the orings...
