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.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor and secure the
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 tines and tine bolts for wear. Replace if
necessary. Refer to
on
3. Inspect the tiller for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed.
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.
4. 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 under
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.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement is also available in
Orange.
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.
