Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
General
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 bolts after using the unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Land Pride Dealer.
The parts on your Post Hole Digger have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine
Land Pride parts. Do not alter the digger in a way which
will adversely affects its performance.
Safety Information
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
•
Keep all persons away from rotating driveline and auger.
Contact with rotating parts may cause 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.
!

Daily Inspections
1. Check all bolts after using the unit for several hours to
be sure they are tight.
2. After each use, inspect auger for loose, worn, or
damaged auger teeth, tip, flighting, and gearbox
output shaft bolts and nuts.
3. Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting edges dig
easier and better.
IMPORTANT: Drivelines require a retainer screw to
prevent the driveline yoke from coming off the
gearbox shaft soon after the shearbolt has sheared.
IMPORTANT: Maintain driveline shearbolt at all
times. A bent or damaged shearbolt can result in
severe damage to the post hole digger.
4. Replace the shearbolt if it is bent, damaged, or
sheared with the following bolt:
•
PD10 drivelines without a clutch:
M8 x 1.25 grade 8.8 shearbolt
•
PD15, PD25, & PD35 drivelines without a clutch
3/8"-16 grade 5 shear-bolt.
•
PD25 & PD35 drivelines with a clutch:
3/8"-16 grade 5 shear-bolt
5. Always maintain driveline u-joints and profiles with
lubrication. See "Lubrication Points" on page 37.
6. Check gearbox fluid level periodically. If fluid is
required, refer to "Lubrication Points" on page 37.
7. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride
dealer.
