7 - MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
Storing the tractor
Below is a list of protective measures which should be
taken if your tractor is to be stored for an extended period
of time:
1. Thoroughly clean the tractor. Use touch up paint where
necessary to prevent rust.
2. Check the tractor for worn or damaged parts. Install
new parts as required.
3. Raise the lift arms hydraulically to their fullest raised
position so that the lift piston is in a fully extended po-
sition. This fills the cylinder with oil and protects the
cylinder wall surfaces from corrosion.
4. Lubricate the tractor.
5. Fill the fuel tank with No. 1 diesel fuel.
NOTICE: Do not use No. 2 diesel fuel for winter storage
because of wax separation and setting at low temperature.
6. Open the drain valve of the radiator and engine block.
Flush the system, close the drain valves, and fill with a
50/50 solution of permanent antifreeze and clear water.
7. Remove the battery and clean it thoroughly. Be sure
that it is fully charged and that the electrolyte is at the
proper level. Store the battery in a cool, dry place
above freezing temperature, and charge it periodically
during storage.
8. Place blocking under the tractor axles to remove the
weight from the tires.
9. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.
10. Depress the clutch pedal, engage the latch (1) with the
pin (2) located on the clutch pedal. When the clutch
pedal is locked in this position, the clutch disc will be
separated from the flywheel.
NOTE: The left side cover has to be removed to gain ac-
cess to the clutch pedal latch.
