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.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before servicing
the drivetrain and components powered by the drivetrain. A
person can become entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is
started and the power take-off is engaged.
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. Lubricate as noted in
5. 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.
6. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
7.
Store tiller on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer tiller life.
8. Follow all parking instructions on page 16 when
disconnecting tractor from tiller.
9. 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.
10. A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement may also be
purchased in Orange, Green, or Red.
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.
