OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
4-9
Wheel Bearing Maintenance
Wheel bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the wheel
bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the hub cap, cotter pin, slotted nut and
washer.
3. Remove the hub. Clean and inspect the bearings and
hub cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
4. Repack the bearings using a high-quality wheel
bearing grease.
5. Reinstall the hub with a new seal and the inner
bearing in place.
6. Install the outer bearing cone, washer and slotted
nut.
7. Tighten the slotted nut while rotating the hub until
there is a slight resistance to wheel rotation. Then,
back the slotted nut off one notch, until the wheel
rotates freely without end play.
8. Install a new cotter pin and replace the hub cap.
Hydraulic Maintenance
1. Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level per tractor
owners manual and after any leakage. Check fluid
level with the cylinders in the retracted position.
2. If a cylinder or valve leaks, disassemble the parts to
determine the cause of the leak. Any time a cylinder
is opened up, or whenever any seal replacement is
necessary, it is advisable to clean all parts and
replace all seals. Seal kits are available from your
Landoll dealer.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses weekly. Look for binding or
cracking. Replace all worn or defective parts
immediately.
Lubrication
1. Table 4-1 and Figure 4-7 specifies the number and
the period of lubrication points on the 876 Series
Wing Tilloll. Proper maintenance of your machine
will, under normal operating conditions, help to keep
it operating at or near its peak performance for an
extended period of time. Proper maintenance is also
a condition of keeping your warranty in good status.
Storage
1. The service life of the Tilloll will be extended by
proper off-season storage practices. Prior to storing
the unit, complete the following procedures:
a. Completely clean the unit.
b. Inspect the machine for worn or defective parts.
Replace as needed.
c. Repaint all areas where the original paint film is
worn off.
d. Grease all exposed metal surfaces of shanks,
points and discs.
e. Lubricate each point of the machine as stated in
“Lubrication” on page 4-9.
2. Store the unit in a shed or under a tarpaulin to protect
it from the weather. The ground tools and tires should
rest on boards, or some other object, to keep them
out of the soil.
