Section 4: Maintenance & 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 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 the
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 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. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride 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.
A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement is also available in
Orange.
When ordering an optional color, the suffix number
corresponding to the color must be added at the end of
the part number. Parts ordered without the suffix number
will be supplied in factory standard colors.
82 . . . . . . . Orange
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is orange,
then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-555C82.
