Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time, and
repair.
After using and/or transporting your seeder for several
hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
!
WARNING
Always secure seeder in the up position with solid supports
before servicing the underside. Never work under equipment
supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if
controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either
situation can drop the seeder instantly even when power to the
hydraulics is shut off.
Drive System
Your Primary Seeder uses standard no. 40 roller chain
throughout its drive system. The drive system is simple
and designed for low maintenance.
Check all drive idler arms to insure that they are taking up
any excess chain slack and that the chain is not over-
tightened. Clean and lubricate all roller chains with chain
lubricant as needed.
Packing Rollers
The front and rear packing rollers should turn freely. If
they do not, investigate and remove the cause. The rear
roller assembly should be free to float up and down to
follow the field terrain. If it does not, investigate and
remove the cause.
Storage
It is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may
have accumulated on the seeder and moving parts at the
end of each working season and when your seeder will
not be used for several days.
1.
Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned
before storing. It is best to do this while still hooked to
the tractor.
a. Scoop out any large quantities of seed left in the
box. Finish by using a small broom or vacuum
sweeper.
Refer to Figure 6-1 & Figure 6-2:
b. Move Standard Seeds Box & Small Seeds Box
rate adjustment lever(s) all the way to the right to
fully open seed cups.
c. Lower four position door handles to the lowest
position at each Small Seeds Box seed cup.
d. Run seeder over the ground to power the seed
cups to remove out-of-reach seeds.
e. Make a final sweep or vacuum the seed cups to
finish the cleaning job.

2.
Place Rear Roller Pin in Parking position. (See
Figure 3-4, page 18.)
3.
The square bore of the seed cup drive sprocket hub
should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the
square feed cup shaft and move seed cup
adjustment lever back and forth in order to get the oil
back into the square.
4.
Lubricate all grease fittings and roller chains as
noted under Lubrication Points starting on page 31.
5.
When in storage, make sure rear roller pin is in
Parking position and then lower seeder with rollers
on a board or hard surface. Adjust tongue jack
support the hitch on the Pull Hitch Option.
6.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust.
7.
Replace all damaged or missing decals.
8.
Store the seeder inside if possible. Inside storage will
reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder
life.
9.
Inspect seeder for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed with genuine Land
Pride parts. Do not alter Land Pride equipment.
Altering equipment can hinder performance and/or
cause damage to the equipment.
