Part No. 317-142A
A detailed listing of parts for this accessory kit is
provided on page 5. Use the list as a checklist to
inventory parts received. Please contact your local
Land Pride dealer for any missing hardware.
Refer to Figure 2 on page 1:
The optional storage stand may be used when the
PD15, PD25, and PD35 Post Hole Digger is not in
operation. It will help prolong digger’s life by keeping
the unit off the ground where moisture and debris are
more likely to collect causing undue damage to the
digger. Also, the storage stand design aids in
mounting and dismounting the Post Hole Digger to
and from the tractor.
