Models Covered & Key Technical Specifications

New Holland L225, L325, L425, L445 — 1985–1990 Comprehensive Structured Compendium | Skid Steer Series Kit.

  • Design Weight Data: Operating weight reaches 3,028 lb. (1,373 kg) for the L-225 loader configuration Specifications.
  • Calibrated Net Mass: For the L-425 configuration, 3,188 lbs. (1,446 kg) is standardized to full fuel tank capacity Protocol.
  • Measured Output Density: The main hydraulic pump achieves 7.3–8.1 GPM (27.6–30.6 l/min) — specifies the lift system flow rate Standards.
  • Standard Capacity Limits: The L-445 chain case reservoir requires 16 gal. (57 l) for hydraulic operation Architecture.
  • Principal Energy Draw: Horsepower ratings range from 18 @ 3,000 RPM (L-225) to 30 @ 2,800 RPM (L-425/L-445) dictates the engine output Matrix.
  • Key Angular Speed: Fast engine speed is calibrated to 2,450–3,200 RPM depending on model, representing the governed maximum throttle Norms.

Professional Workshop Service Manual & Technical Specifications

OEM-Grade Reference Manual: Skid Steer Loader New Holland Skid Steer Loader Operation & Repair Manual for: L225, L325, L425, L445 Repair-Index

Operational-Scope: L-225, L-325, L-425, L-445 // Reference-Category: Hydrostatic Systems / Transmission Architecture // Component-Focus: Pump and Motor Assembly Details.

Technical units are distributed across hydrostatic transmission systems, steering mechanisms, boom and bucket control architecture, final drive assemblies, and electrical circuit documentation. The manual contains comprehensive coverage of engine specifications for Wisconsin gasoline, Kohler gasoline, and Deutz diesel configurations, extending through electrical system diagnostics for alternator testing and charge pressure monitoring. Inspection guidelines are provided for variable displacement piston pumps, fixed displacement piston motors, gear pump assemblies, and pilot-operated relief valve systems. Alignment specifications are included for transmission control linkage, steering damper neutralizer positioning, and final drive chain slack measurement procedures. Reference data is included for charge pressure settings, relief valve pressure thresholds, and torque specifications for critical fastening points throughout the loader frame and hydraulic circuits. This manual covers the complete disassembly and reassembly methodologies for hydrostatic motor rotating piston block assemblies with bronze shoe and carburized thrust race components, along with detailed parts identification for charge check valves, cam plate assemblies, and piston block rotating assemblies.

Component Value Validation-Data
Charge Pressure Setting 90-150 psi Documented for all models
Main System Relief Valve 2,250 psi Complete specifications provided
Transmission Relief Pressure 4,000-4,500 psi See Specifications section
Hydrostatic Motor Mounting 82 ft. lbs. Cap screw torque requirements
Chain Case Drain Configuration Fixed displacement motors Documented in hydraulic circuits

Service sections detail the forward and reverse relief valve configurations used on transmission piston pumps, the case drain line architecture for moving leakage oil from piston pump cases to the reservoir, and the pressure-beyond (PB) fitting arrangement for auxiliary hydraulic system connections. The document includes wiring diagrams for all four loader models (L-225, L-325, L-425, L-445), along with complete electrical system schematics showing alternator output terminals, isolation diode testing configurations, and regulator field circuit continuity procedures. Troubleshooting guidance addresses small frame loader issues, transmission-related problems, seat-activated boom lockout variations (Style 1 and Style 2), and complete transmission efficiency testing methodologies using portable hydraulic circuit testers. The manual documents torque specifications for the hydrostatic motor cap screws to ensure proper fastener load consistency.

Installation procedures are provided for adjustable fittings in straight thread O-ring bosses, standard torque data for hydraulic tubes and fittings with 37-degree flared connections, and bolt torque charts covering final drive service, gear pump cases, transmission assemblies, cylinders, and engine mounting hardware. Engine specifications include ignition timing advance values, valve clearance tolerances, spark plug gap measurements, and breaker point gap positioning for Wisconsin and Kohler gasoline engines, alongside Deutz diesel engine valve clearance data and fuel system details. The document references the operator's manual for additional service and troubleshooting information, contains precautionary statements (Caution, Warning, Danger, Attention, and Important notices) throughout, and provides repair operation time estimates for major assemblies including hydrostatic pump and motor service, final drive component replacement, and engine removal procedures.

FAQ

What components are **documented** for safety precautions? keyboard_arrow_down

Three precautionary statement levels are specified: CAUTION protects operators from accident involvement, WARNING denotes potential hidden hazards with serious injury potential, and DANGER denotes forbidden practices with serious hazards. All appear throughout the manual and on machine decals per page 111.

Confirm the **precise** lubrication requirements for O-ring installation? keyboard_arrow_down

Light oil or petroleum-based lubricant must coat the O-ring before installation in the groove adjacent to the metal back-up washer face, as documented in the Installation of Adjustable Fittings procedure on page 114.

What tools are **proper** for testing parameters? keyboard_arrow_down

O-5000 psi pressure gauges must connect in the pump-to-motor line, with engine throttle set at governed speed to measure high pressure relief settings ranging from 4,000 psi (272 bar) on newer models to 4,500 psi (306 bar) on older models, per page 95 transmission troubleshooting procedures.

Identify the **standard** diagnostic procedures? keyboard_arrow_down

82 ft. lbs. (111 N·m) torque specification applies to cap screws retaining hydrostatic motors on unplated hardware during transmission reassembly, with additional specifications: 27-31 ft. lbs. (37-42 N·m) for drive sprocket cap screws and 18 ft. lbs. (24 N·m) for charge pump adapter plates, detailed on page 41.

What procedures are **necessary** for fluid capacity requirements? keyboard_arrow_down

16 gallons (57 liters) chain case reservoir capacity applies to all models (L-225, L-325, L-425, L-445), with 10 gallon (38 liter) fuel tanks and engine crankcase volumes ranging from 3.5-4.0 quarts, specified on pages 103-106 per model.
