Tine Replacement
Refer to Figure 4-1:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Used tines can be very sharp. Always wear gloves when
handling tines to protect against cuts.
1. Remove 2 hex head cap screws and fasteners from
each tine being replaced. Remove tine.
2. Attach each new tine to the flange making certain it is
mounted so that the cutting edge crosses over the
flange and leads in rotation as shown in Figure 4-1.
3. Replace 2 cap screws and fasteners. Tighten nuts to
proper torque.

IMPORTANT: When ordering tines, be sure to order
only genuine OEM tines and to order both right- and
left-hand tines. Always install tines with cutting edge
facing the direction of rotation.
IMPORTANT: Remove and install one tine at a time
to ensure they are oriented correctly when installed.
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 Rotary Tiller. Scrape off
compacted dirt and then wash surfaces thoroughly
with a garden hose.
2. Check the tines for wear and replace if necessary.
See Tine Replacement earlier in this section.
3. Inspect the tiller for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed.
4. 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.
A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted below.
7. Drain and refill gearbox and chaincase oil. Be sure to
replace all oil plugs.
•
Drain oil in gearbox by removing the bottom drain
plug or right-hand cap.
•
Drain oil in chaincase by removing the bottom plug
and tipping tiller backwards.
8. Store tiller on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer tiller life.
9. Follow all parking instructions on page 20 when
disconnecting tractor from tiller.
