Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before
servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the
drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain
if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.
Drive components are protected from shock loads with a
shearbolt on the three deck drivelines. The shearbolt is
located on the end of the driveline connected to the
spindle gearboxes. The bolt is designed to shear off
when the blade impacts objects the mower is not
designed to cut through.
Avoid shear bolt failure by engaging the power take-off
slowly at low engine rpm. See your Land Pride dealer
when replacing shear bolts. Using a higher grade shear
bolt may result in drive train and/or tractor power take-off
damage.

See table below for correct shear bolt and locknut part
numbers. Draw locknut up snug, do not tighten.
Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the implement when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor and secure
implement in the up position with solid, non-concrete supports
before servicing the underside. A person can become
entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and power
take-off is engaged or crushed by an unsupported implement.

1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the mower and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck
and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden
hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower
deck area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades for wear and replace or sharpen if
necessary. See
“Blade Sharpening” on page 36.
3. Inspect mower for loose, damaged or worn parts and
adjust or replace as needed.
4. Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” on page
40.
5. A light coat of oil or grease may be applied to the
deck and to any exposed hydraulic cylinder rods to
minimize oxidation.
6. Release spring tension from drive belt. Refer to
“Blade Removal and Installation” on page 36.
7. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride aerosol
touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
8. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
9. Store mower on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer mower life.
10. Store driveline end off the ground.
Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement may also be
purchased in Orange.
When ordering an optional color, the suffix number
corresponding to the color must be added at the end of
the part number. Parts ordered without the suffix number
will be supplied in factory standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is orange,
then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-555C82.
