any maintenance.
Each blade carrier has the same directional blade; either 2x left blades or
2x right blades according to whether the carrier spins clockwise or anti-
clockwise. Each blade tine unit comprises of a tine flange, guard plate, two
tines, bearing housing, bearing and connecting elements. The tines are
mounted underneath the guard plate and serve to loosen the soil. They are
secured with bushings, washers, bolts and lock nuts.

the new blades point in the same direction as the previous ones.
