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 tiller. PTO can be engaged if tractor is
started resulting in damage to tiller, bodily injury, or death.
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 22.
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.
5. A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in
lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.
6. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
7. Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting
on page 25.
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
26.
• Drain oil in chaincase by removing bottom level
plug and tipping tiller towards the plug hole. See
“Chaincase” lubrication instructions on page 26.
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 “Parking” instructions on page 18 when
disconnecting tractor from tiller.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard beige
color with black highlights. Equipment in special colors
may be purchased in Green, Red or Orange. Because of
the variety of colors available, special attention must be
given to the part number to prevent ordering the wrong
replacement part. A suffix number corresponding to one
of the colors below must be added at the end of Land
Pride’s part number when ordering a replacement part
with that color. Parts ordered without a suffix number will
be supplied in factory standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is red, then
add the suffix 83 to the end of the number to make the
part number read 555-555C83.
