Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication
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 and secure
implement in the up position with solid, non-concrete supports
before servicing the underside. A person can become
entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and power
take-off is engaged or crushed by an unsupported implement.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the tiller and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from bottom of tiller and then wash
surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil
may also be applied to the areas where paint has
been worn off from use to minimize oxidation.
2. Check tines and tine bolts for wear. Replace if
necessary. Refer to "Tine Replacement" on
page 28.
3. Inspect tiller for loose, damaged or worn parts and
adjust or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for 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.

8. Drain and refill gearbox and chaincase oil. Be sure to
replace all oil plugs when completed.
•
Drain oil in gearbox by removing bottom drain plug.
See "Gearbox" lubrication instructions on
page 32.
•
Drain oil in chaincase by removing bottom level
plug and tipping tiller towards the plug hole. See
"Chaincase" lubrication instructions on page 32.
9. Store tiller on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer tiller life.
10. Follow all "Unhook Rotary Tiller" instructions on
page 24 when disconnecting tractor from tiller.

will be supplied in factory standard colors.

then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-555C82.
