The Ford New Holland LS25, LS35, LS45, and LS55 Yard Tractors are versatile lawn and yard machines designed for residential and light-duty property maintenance. Produced throughout the 1990s, these models are powered by Kohler gasoline engines ranging from 12.5 hp (LS25) up to 20 hp (LS55). The series combines sturdy frames, efficient transmissions, and turf-friendly tires, making them reliable workhorses for mowing and light hauling. Their compact design and consistent performance make them suitable for homeowners who want durability and ease of operation in their yard equipment.
The LS25 is equipped with a 12.5 hp, 398 cc single-cylinder engine, a 6-speed gear transmission, and a 3.9-gallon fuel tank, weighing around 530 lbs. The LS35 delivers around 14 hp with similar design features. The LS45 increases power output to 16 hp with a 624 cc twin-cylinder engine, while the LS55, the largest of the series, offers 18β20 hp with hydrostatic drive in many configurations. All models share a 49.5-inch wheelbase, turf-oriented tire sizes (16Γ6.50-8 front, 23Γ9.50-12 or 23Γ10.50-12 rear), and a fuel capacity of approximately 3.9 gallons for extended mowing time.
The comprehensive repair manual provides complete coverage for all four models. Key sections include introduction and safety, lubrication and maintenance, adjustments and servicing, troubleshooting, and bolt torque specifications. For hydrostatic-equipped models (like the LS55), the manual includes Eaton hydrostatic transmission service information. Step-by-step servicing procedures, lubrication charts, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting guides ensure accurate maintenance and repair. With exploded component views and clear adjustment instructions, this manual helps owners and technicians maintain factory-level reliability and performance.
