Storing Your Tractor

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 tractor under cover. If impossible to place tractor under cover, be sure to cover air stack and exhaust pipe.
• Drain radiator and engine block.
• To avoid gum content collections, drain both fuel tanks and carburetor.
• Leave 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 battery and store.
• Remove spark plugs and pour a small quantity of light motor oil on piston tops. Crank engine over a few times and replace spark plugs.
• When tractor is removed from storage, it should be serviced throughout, including draining and refilling the oil sump with fresh oil.
