Tine Replacement

Refer to Figure 4-1:

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Used tines can be very sharp. Always wear gloves when 

handling tines to protect against cuts.

1. Remove 2 hex head cap screws and fasteners from 

each tine being replaced. Remove tine.

2. Attach each new tine to the flange making certain it is 

mounted so that the cutting edge crosses over the 

flange and leads in rotation as shown in Figure 4-1.

3. Replace 2 cap screws and fasteners. Tighten nuts to 

proper torque.

IMPORTANT: 

When ordering tines, be sure to order 

only genuine OEM tines and to order both right- and 

left-hand tines. Always install tines with cutting edge 

facing the direction of rotation.

IMPORTANT: 

Remove and install one tine at a time 

to ensure they are oriented correctly when installed.

Long-Term Storage

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to 

the implement when storing it for long periods and at the 

end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready 

for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor and secure 

implement in the up position with solid, non-concrete supports 

before servicing the underside. A person can become 

entangled in the drivetrain if the tractor is started and power 

take-off is engaged or crushed by an unsupported implement.

1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have 

accumulated on the Rotary Tiller. Scrape off 

compacted dirt and then wash surfaces thoroughly 

with a garden hose. 

2. Check the tines for wear and replace if necessary. 

See 

Tine Replacement

 earlier in this section.

3. Inspect the tiller for loose, damaged, or worn parts 

and adjust or replace if needed.

4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to 

prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride 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. 

A coating of oil may be applied to worn surfaces in 

lieu of painting to minimize oxidation.

5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted below. 
7. Drain and refill gearbox and chaincase oil. Be sure to 

replace all oil plugs. 

Drain oil in gearbox by removing the bottom drain 
plug or right-hand cap. 

Drain oil in chaincase by removing the bottom plug 
and tipping tiller backwards. 

8. Store tiller on a level surface in a clean, dry place. 

Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for 

a longer tiller life.

9. Follow all parking instructions on page 20 when 

disconnecting tractor from tiller.
