Long Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the cutter when parking it for long periods and when
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure the cuter is ready for field use the next time you
hook-up to it.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before
servicing underside of cutter. PTO can be engaged if tractor is
started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.
!
DANGER
Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter. 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 cutter instantly even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on
page 31.
3. Inspect 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. Replace all damaged or missing guarding and
decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting
on page 39.
7. Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 20 when
disconnecting tractor from cutter.

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, and 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.
