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 to 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.

Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports 

before working under it. Never go under equipment 

supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can 

break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls 

can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have 

accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape 

off compacted dirt from the bottom of 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 and blade bolts for wear and replace if 

necessary. See 

“Cutter Blades” 

on page 43.

3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust 

or replace as needed.

4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to 

prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol 

touch-up paint. Paint is 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.

5. Replace all damaged or missing guarding and 

decals.

6. Lubricate as noted in 

“Lubrication Points”

 starting 

on page 49.

7.

Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place. 

Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for 

a longer cutter life.

8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 29 when 

disconnecting tractor from cutter.

Ordering Replacement Parts

Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige 

with black highlights. This implement may also be 

purchased in Orange, Green, or Red. 
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.
