LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

TRACTOR STORAGE
Tractors that are to be stored for an extended pe-
riod should be protected during storage. The fol-
lowing is a suggested list of operations to be car-
ried out.
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 fully
raised position so the lift piston is in a fully ex-
tended position. This fills the cylinder with oil
and will protect the cylinder wall surfaces from
corrosion.
4. Lubricate the tractor. Drain and refill the trans-
mission, hydraulic system and rear axle with
new oil. Drain the engine oil and refill with new
lubricating oil. Also clean the air cleaner.
IMPORTANT
： ： ： ：
Do not use No.2 diesel fuel for
winter storage because of wax separation and
setting at low temperature.
5. Open the drain valve of radiator and engine
block. Flush the system, close the drain valve,
and fill with a 50/50 solution of permanent anti-
freeze and clear water.
6. Remove the battery and clean it thoroughly. Be
sure that it is fully charged. Place it in storage in
a cool, dry place above freezing temperature.
The battery should be charged periodically dur-
ing storage.
7. Place blocking under the tractor axles to remove
the weight from the tires.
8. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.
9. Place pedal spacer between clutch pedal and
step plate to separate clutch disc from flywheel,

Figure 84 - Installing Pedal Spacer
Tractor that have been placed in storage should be
completely serviced in the following manner before
using :
1. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures,
and remove the blocking.
2. Check the oil level in the engine crankcase, the
common sump (for the hydraulic lift, transmis-
sion, rear axle and optional power steering), and
optional front wheel drive axle.
3. Install a fully-charged battery and remove the
exhaust cover, if other than a rain cap.
4. Check the cooling system for proper level of
50/50 solution of antifreeze and clear water.
5. Remove pedal spacer from between clutch
pedal and step plate.
6. Start the engine and allow it to idle a few min-
utes. Be sure the engine is receiving lubrication
and that each control is functioning correctly.
7. Drive the tractor without a load and check to be
sure it is operating satisfactorily.
