Looking for pointers on what to do for long term storage of one of my H's. It was my grandpa/ grandma's tractor and was the tractor I learned on. Its been parked for 2 years because I think the rings are worn out because it oil fouls the spark plugs out, needs the hydro cylinder on the loader redone, pto is worn out, generator is shot and lots of little things. Plan on doing my first complete tear down and rebuild on it someday just dont know when. Have too many other projects and very little $$$ and time right now.
Should I do anything to make it easier when it comes time to fix it? I turn the engine over about twice a year by turnin the fan belt in hopes of keepin the valves from sticking, and pistons free. I've heard people talk about blocking the clutch pedal, good or bad thing to do?? Fill gas tank up to keep from rusting?? Wood under tires?? I do put a cap or 2 of oil in the cylinders when I turn it over by hand. Its inside a barn with a dirt floor.
Thanks for any help
