Section 4: 

Maintenance & Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life 

of any implement. With careful inspection and routine 

maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all hardware after several hours of operation and 

regularly thereafter to ensure they are tight and secured. 

Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by 

obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports 

before working under it. Never go under equipment supported 

by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break, 

hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be 

actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in 

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose 

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, 

and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the 

implement back into service.

Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement 

with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or 

meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) 

specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the 

safety, function, performance, and life of the implement. 

Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

Before any lubrication or maintenance is performed, lower 

implement to ground, shut engine off, and remove ignition 

key. Do not attempt to lubricate or perform maintenance 

with implement or power machine running.

Roller Chain & Drive Sprockets

Sprockets and roller chain should be checked for wear 

annually by a qualified person. Replacing a worn roller 

chain will extend the life of the sprockets. Be sure to 

replace worn sprockets when replacing the roller chain. 

Access roller chain and sprockets through the chain 

case.

Refer to Figure 4-1 on page 23:

1. Remove oil level plug (#1). Tip tiller backwards and 

drain oil out into an oil drip pan.

2. Loosen chain tightener jam nut (#2) and chain 

tightener stud (#3).

3. Placed an oil drip pan under chain case cover (#6) 

and remove 1/4"-20 hex bolts (#5). 

4. Being careful not to damage gasket (#7), remove 

chain case cover (#6). 

5. Inspect gasket (#7). Be sure to replace it if it is 

damaged.

6. Inspect roller chain (#4) and replace if worn 

excessively.

7.

Inspect top sprocket (#9) and bottom sprocket (#10). 

Replace if worn excessively.

8. When replacing the bottom sprocket (#10), be sure to 

tighten nylock nut (#8) to the correct torque.

Refer to Figure 4-1 Figure 4-2 on page 23:

9. Tighten nylock jam nut (#8) all the way down until top 

sprocket (#9) is bottomed out on the bearing.

10. Back jam nut out until you can install .015" feeler 

gauge between sprocket and jam nut as shown.

11. Tighten jam nut up against feeler gauge until snug. 

Pull feeler out and tighten jam nut 1/6 of a turn.

Refer to Figure 4-1 on page 23:

12. Install roller chain (#4). Make sure roller chain is 

under chain idler arm (#11).

13. Install gasket (#7) and chain case (#6) with 1/4"-20 

hex flange serrated screws. 

14. Draw all the screws (#5) up snug before tightening 

them. Tighten screws to the correct torque as follows:

Tighten the bottom screw first. 

Tighten the next screw up on the right.

Cross over to the left and tighten that screw.

Continuing crossing back and forth tightening the 
screws working your way up the chain case until 
you have tightened the top screw.

IMPORTANT: 

The top sprocket (#9) requires special 

tightening of nylock jam nut (#8) to prevent 

premature bearing. damage.

NOTE:  

The input shaft on the gearbox should turn
