Assembly Instructions
Check Free Vertical Movement of Blades
Refer to Figure 5:
The cutting blades should not have more than 3/4" free
vertical movement at the blade tips. If vertical movement
exceeds 3/4", install or change to thicker spacers (#3)
following steps 1 through 5.
Order spacers (#3) and locknuts (#7) from your nearest
Land Pride Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Read “Safety Information” on page 1
before disassembling the shredder blades.
IMPORTANT: Locknuts can lose their ability to lock
properly once removed. Always use a plain
throwaway nut during pre-assembly of spacers.
IMPORTANT: Spacers (#3) are not required if
vertical movement at blade tip is 3/4" or less without
spacers. However, spacers are required if vertical
movement at blade tip is greater than 3/4". This is
particularly important when using fixed blades.
1. Check blade deflection. If vertical deflection at the
blade tip is greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt (#6)
and reassemble using thicker spacers (#3). Select
spacer thickness based on deflection. The greater
the deflection, the thicker the spacer required.
2. Assemble blades by inserting 1"-8 x 4 1/2" GR8 hex
head bolt (#6) through blade bushing (#4),
spacer (#3), lower cutting blade (#8 or #10), blade
carrier (#5), upper flat cutting blade (#9), spacer (#3)
and blade bushings (#4). Temporary secure blade
with a plain hex nut (Plain hex nut furnished by
customer.) Draw nut up snug. Do not tighten.
3. Check blade deflection. If deflection at the blade tips
are greater than 3/4", remove blade bolt and
reassemble as before with thicker spacers.
4. Once blade deflection is correct, replace plain nut
with supplied locknut (#7) & torque to 450 ft-lbs.
5. Repeat "Check Free Vertical Movement of Blades"
instructions for the remaining shredder blade
assemblies.

Fixed Blade Mounting Holes
Refer to Figure 6:
The bolt holes for mounting fixed blades to the wing
decksare not included on earlier models. See location of
mounting holes below to determine if your cutter has the
mounting holes. If mounting holes are present, skip to
“Center Deck Fixed Blade Assembly” on page 7. If
holes are missing, add them to the deck as follows:
1. Locate and drill four 9/16" dia. holes on the left wing
deck as shown in Figure 1.
2. Repeat step 1 above for the right wing deck.
