Land Pride
Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication
Storage
Clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to
the Rotary Tiller when parking it for long periods and
when parking it at the end of a working season. This will
help ensure that the tiller is ready for field use the next
time you hook-up to it.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and
secure tiller in the up position with solid supports before
servicing underside of the tiller.
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 "Lubrication" on page 20.
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. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
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.
A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.
