no need to drain anything.. get antifreeze down to -20 degree level ( or lower if your in COLD area)... charge battery with tender and leave in the tractor.. no blocks, it can set for 3-4 months... run the fuel down as low as possible.. add stabalizer to the las gallon if you want.. i dont bother and have had no problems.

My personal opinion is if I was going to drain (change) fluids, I would rather do it in the spring, just before I was going to use it, so any condensation is drained out. I do watch for milky fluids.
My tractors don't get enough hours on them to even change oil every year. Some are lucky to get 5 hours of actual run time in a year.

So WF, how often should one change oil in a tractor that only runs a few hours per year? I have the same problem; they are stored in an insulated building and rarely does the temperature get below freezing. Thanks.

Winter approaching? Check your calendar, it’s July where I am.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Run the fuel in the tank way down. Add some Stabil in the fuel tank. Drain the Carburetor and fuel line completely Pull the Battery and put it on a Battery tender in the wire shop Air the tires up a little higher than I would normally have em'. If sitting outside, I put a 4 mil plastic zip bag over the Alternator or Gennie Give it a good coat of wax on it for the Winter months. I do the same thing with my Antique cars. But I put the cars on jack stands to get the weight off the tires to eliminate flat spots. I leave the Antifreeze in all the Tractors and vehicles.... Steve@B&B |
