Thirty years ago I bought a used 224,which is the next step up power-wise from the 222 and it's still in service today. The hydro has always been a little jerky but it is almost bullet proof, and has gone through hell and back without faltering. Yes, it can over-run on a downhill, but pulling it into reverse stops it.

You should get the deck belt from your dealer because it has an uncommon "V" angle, though I have gotten by with a heavy duty from a farm store belt for awhile. Just make sure it's a heavy duty belt. A regular one won't make it around the lawn once. Jim
