Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Clutch Inspection
Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean
all parts that do not require replacement.The original
friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2 mm) and should be
replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1 mm). If
clutches have been slipped to the point of "smoking" , the
friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced.
Heat build-up may also affect yoke joints.
Clutch Assembly
Refer to Figure 5-4:
Reassemble each friction disc (#4) next to the metal plate
it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through the end
plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs
(#2) over the bolts and secure with nuts (#1).
Clutch Adjustment
Figure 5-5
Refer to Figure 5-5:
Install new friction discs if needed and reassemble all
components in proper order. Progressively tighten each
spring retainer nut until spring length is 1.283" (1 9/32").

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 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 power take-off shaft
before servicing drivetrain and cutter blades. The power
take-off can be engaged if tractor is started.
•
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 store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as
24664
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See"Cutter Blade Maintenance" on
page 26.
3. Inspect cutter 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. Paint is 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.

5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in "Lubrication Points" starting
on page 29.
7.
Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 22 when
disconnecting tractor from cutter.
