S220 Lawn Tractor with 42-in. Deck

22-hp (16.4-kW) engine

The 22-hp (16.4-kW) V-twin engine used in the S220 Tractor provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:

• V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
• Large, 44.2-cu in. (724-cc) displacement
  • Plenty of torque helps to get the job done fast.
  • Large displacement engine increases the ability to get an even cut without mowing a second time.
  • Camshaft and carburetor designs create the optimum torque rise for rapid response to varying load conditions.
• Electronic ignition for fast starts
• Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
• Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
• Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for keeping the oil cleaner for a long engine life and extending the time between oil changes; full-pressure lubrication is also more effective when operating the tractor on an incline
• Excellent serviceability with easily replaced air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter and a convenient oil-drain hose to make draining the oil easy and clean

Cyclonic air filter

Air filter cover

 

Air filter with foam precleaner

Cyclonic air-management system removes larger particles of dirt before they reach the air filter for reduced filter maintenance and longer engine life:

• Cyclonic design ejects large dirt particles before they contact the filter.
• Large, high-quality dry-type paper element air filter thoroughly cleans engine intake air.
• The cover over the air filter is easily removed with two knobs for cleaning or replacement of the filter.

Serviceability

Debris inspection port covers

 

Debris inspection port

Two debris inspection ports help ensure clean engine fins for optimum cooling. Bolts to open them are conveniently located under the air filter cover.

Flywheel alternator

A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:

• 14-amp charging capacity
• Regulated to keep the battery at full charge without risk of overcharging

Fuel tank

Convenient fuel filler opening

• The capacity is 2.4 U.S. gal. (9.1 L).
• The fuel filler opening is conveniently located under the seat.
  • Filling the tank without spilling is easy.
  • A tethered fuel tank cap is more convenient.
  • The sealed fuel cap helps keep vapors inside the tank.
