Tractor Storage
If your tractor is going to be
stored for any length of time, a few precautionary measures are helpful in
preserving various parts, also in avoiding future difficulty.
-
Store your
tractor under a protective cover. Make sure the cover fabric will allow for
moisture to escape. Moisture trapped under the cover will cause rusting and
paint deterioration.
-
Cover the air
stack and exhaust pipe.
-
Drain the
radiator and the engine block.
-
To avoid gum
content collections, drain both the fuel tank and carburetor.
-
Leave the
radiator and fuel caps slightly loose to protect gaskets.
-
Block tractor up
to remove weight from tires and to keep tires from contact with moist floor.
-
Remove the
battery and store in a warm place.
-
Remove the spark
plugs and pour a small quantity of light motor oil on piston tops. Crank the
engine over a few times and replace the spark plugs.
-
When your
tractor is removed from storage, it should be serviced throughout, including
draining and refilling the oil sump with fresh oil.
