DANGER!
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before
servicing underside of cutter deck. Cutter can be engaged if
tractor is started resulting in damage to the cutter, bodily injury
or death.
Tools required:
1. Align dishpan blade bolt hole with access hole in
deck.
2. Place tractor gear selector in park and/or set brakes,
shut engine off and remove ignition key.
3. Disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and
secure cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter.
4. Start by assembling blades without shim (#2). Insert
blade bolt (#1) through blade (#3), dish pan (#4) and
flat washer (#5). Temporarily secure blade with a
used 1 1/8"-12 nut. Draw nut up snug. Do not
tighten.
5. Check blade deflection. If deflection is greater than
3/4", remove blade bolt and reassemble as before
except include shim (#2) in the assembly. Select
shim thickness based on deflection. The greater the
deflection, the thicker the shim.
6. Once blade deflection is correct, replace used nut
with new locknut (#6) and torque to 450 ft. lbs.

IMPORTANT: Replacement blades should be
ordered in pairs. Order only genuine Land Pride
blades. Other blades may not meet specifications.
IMPORTANT: Both blades should weigh the same
with not more than 1 1/2 oz. difference.
IMPORTANT: Refer to your Operator’s Manual or
deck decal for direction of blade rotation to ensure
correct blade placement. Cutter blades must be
installed with cutting edge leading in rotation.
IMPORTANT: Shim (#2) below may or may not be
required. If blade deflection is less than 3/4" without
a shim, then the shim is not used. However, a shim
is required if blade deflection is greater than 3/4".
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can loose their ability to lock
properly once removed. Therefore, always use a
used blade nut or plain nut in steps 4 & 5 below and
then replace used nut with new locknut in step 6.

drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines
burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when
power to the hydraulic system is shut off.
