Stroke Control Flip Spacer
Replacement
Overtime, the stroke control flip spacers may show signs
of wear such as bending or gouging. When the spacers
become difficult to close or they open too easily, then it is
time to order replacement parts. Order only genuine
Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride dealer.
The flip spacers included on your cutter are not all the
same. When ordering new parts, compare damaged flip
spacers to a matching illustration below to ensure
ordering the right part. Additional assembly components
are also listed below.

Flip Spacer Replacement
1. Remove hex lock-nut (#7) from 5/8-11 GR5 bolt
(#1A).
2. Carefully remove 5/8-11 GR5 bolt (#1A) from
alternating flip spacers (#5 & #6), leaving both wave
washers (#3) and both flat washers (#2) on bolt
(#1A).
3. Remove any worn flip spacers (#5 & #6) and replace
with new flip spacers, ensuring they are alternating in
sequence.
4. Replace removed 5/8-11 GR5 bolt (#1A), ensuring
both wave washers (#3) and both flat washers (#2)
are on bolt (#1A).
5. Secure 5/8-11 GR5 bolt (#1A) by attaching a new hex
lock-nut (#7). Tighten until flip spacers will not pivot
freely, then back off 1/2 to 1 turn.
Worn or bent flip spacers can open too
easily or become difficult to close, possibly resulting
in spacers self-shifting from a fully-closed or fully-
open position. This can potentially cause damage to
the lift cylinder and/or flip spacers.
