I've used and abused a 224 since I bought it used in 1977, and it's one tough creature. The 224 is the small wheeled version of a 444 as far as I can tell. The 'hydro' is tough as nails, but to slow yourself down on a hill you need to pull her down into reverse just a bit, or forward if you're coasting backward. I've done it many times through the years mowing ditches and haven't hurt it yet, though it does shake and verbally complain to you a bit.
The origional PTO clutch was a little weak, with no adjustment for wear, but Case did come out with an updated clutch that can be adjusted by turning a nut with a thin wrench. I'd be sure to look at the PTO clutch to see if it has a big nut on the front of the clutch. If it does have the nut it's been updated.
Through the years I've replaced the engine twice and updated the PTO clutch, but everything else hasn't even given a hint of getting tired. Jim
