If the tractor is to be in long term storage, you should fully examine mechanical condition and follow the steps listed below.

   Store the tractor in dry shelter; support the front and rear wheels so weight is not on the tires. If storing in the open air for limited time, cover the tractor with a tarp.

   Clean the outside of the tractor, wax painted surfaces and lubricate each lubrication point with grease.

   Check anti-freeze level and protection in the cooling system, remove the battery for storage and cover the exhaust system to keep out all water and critters.

   Start the engine to run for 20 minutes every three months to insure the proper lubrication of internal engine parts.
