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 the driveline from the power take-off
shaft before servicing drivetrain and cutter blades. The
power take-off can be engaged if the tractor is started.
•
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.
1. Clean off accumulated dirt and grease and scrape off
compacted dirt under the deck. Wash surface
thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See
“Cutter Blade Maintenance”
on
page 56.
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 decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in
“Lubrication Points” on page
62. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower
deck area to minimize oxidation.
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 52 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.
