Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

55. Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long

implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,

you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and

repair.

56. Always turn off and remove the tractor key before mak-

ing any adjustments or performing any maintenance

Refer to Figure 17

57. After using the implement for several hours, check all

bolts to be sure they are tight.

58. After one hour and again after ﬁve hours re-torque the

Gr. 8 bolts and Gr. 8 clamp bolts to 400 FT LBS.

Re-torque periodically.

59. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication”, page 23.

60. Inﬂate tires as speciﬁed on “Tire Inﬂation Chart”, page

27.

61. Replace or rotate worn parts as needed -- hinge bolts,

clevis pins, bearings, etc.

62. Check and tighten or replace any hydraulic leaks. Check

hoses for any leaks. It is important that there are no

leaks on the equipment.

63. Grease wheel bearings and walking beams sparingly.

Over greasing may cause damage to seals and reduce

the life of the bearing. Grease hinge points periodically.

Storage

64. Store implement where children do not play. If possi-

ble, store the implement inside for longer life.

65. Remove any dirt and debris that can hold moisture

and cause corrosion.

66. Lubricate areas noted under “Lubrication”, page 23.

67. Inspect implement for worn or damaged parts. Make

repairs and service during the off season.

68. Use spray paint to cover scratches, chips and worn

areas on the implement to protect the metal.

By following and maintaining a routine service and lubri-

cation program, your tillage equipment will give you

many years of service.
