Skid Shoe Maintenance
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Excessive wear on skid shoes may cause inadequate operation
of cutter and create a safety hazard.
There are two skid shoes mounted on either side of the
center section and one skid shoe mounted on each wing
section. Check all skid shoes for wear and replace if
necessary. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from
your local Land Pride dealer.
Center Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 5-10:
Replace center skid shoes as follows:
1. Remove 1/2"-13 hex whiz nuts (#4), 1/2" -13 x 1 1/4"
GR5 carriage bolts (#3), and skid shoe (#1) from the
right-hand side of center deck (#2) as shown.
2. Attach new skid shoe (#1) to cutter with existing
1/2" hex bolts (#3), and secure with existing 1/2" hex
whiz nuts (#4). Tighten bolts to the correct torque.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for skid shoe ($1) on the left-hand
side of the center deck.
Wing Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 5-11:
Replace wing skid shoes as follows:
1. Remove 3/8" hex whiz nuts (#3), 3/8" plow bolts (#2),
and left-hand skid shoe (#1) as shown.
2. Plow bolts (#2) should be checked for wear and
replaced if necessary.
3. Attach new left-hand skid shoe (#1) to cutter with
existing 3/8" plow bolts (#3) and secure with 3/8" hex
whiz nuts. Tighten bolts to the correct torque.
4. Repeat for the right-hand wing.
Spindle Gearbox Shaft Guard
Refer to Figure 5-12:
1. To remove shaft guard (#1) at the spindle gearbox,
unsnap latches (#2) on both sides of guard (#1) and
slide shaft guard over driveline to expose driveline
yoke. Do not unhook safety chain (#3).
2. When servicing of driveline yoke is completed, return
shaft guard to its original position and secure with
latches (#2).
3. Check safety chain (#3). Make sure it is latched to
shaft guard mounting plate (#4) and shaft guard (#1).
IMPORTANT: Excessive wear on skid shoes can
weaken cutter side panels and cause damage that
will require extensive repairs. Always replace skid
shoes at the first sign of wearing thin.
