Skid Shoes
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Excessive wear on skid shoes may cause inadequate operation
of cutter and create a safety hazard.
Two skid shoes are mounted on 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.
Wing Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 5-3:
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.
Center Skid Shoes
Refer to Figure 5-4:
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 right-hand center skid
shoe (#1) from the center deck frame (#2) as shown.

weaken cutter side panels and cause damage that
will require extensive repairs. Always replace skid
shoes at the first sign of wearing thin.
