I gotta store my super A for the winter and was wondering what preventative measures should be taken. We often hit well below 0 in the winter. It will be kept under a roof and covered with a sheet. Advice appreciated.
 
Put in good antifreeze 50 50 blend.
Fill the fuel tank and put Sta-Bil fuel stabalizer in it as directed on label.
Shut off the fuel at the tank (as always)
and drain the carb. remove the sediment bowl and clean it then put it back on.
Put a hand ball or other small rubber ball, in the exhaust pipe (with the rain cap up to keep humidity out as much as possible.
Cover the seat with a poly bag to prevent bird dropping deposits. Putting the axle housings on a set of blocks can reduce tire cracking if they are prone to it. Do not let tires get flat, they will crack easily and be toast. If you have not checked the trans/dif oil, be sure it is not milky with water. Same goes for the Hytran, and air cleaner oil. Block the clutch pedal down and leave the brakes off. Block the tractor from moving. Pull one of the battery terminals off and put a good charge on it, or put a battery maintainer on it. Best of luck, Jim
 
Thanks Jim, that's what I was looking for. Should I run the tractor and shut off the fuel til it dies? Block the clutch pedal down?
 
I run the engine to make sure the fuel stabilizer get into the carb, shut off the tank valve, and let the engine die on its own. Remember to shut off the ignition switch. I remove all batteries and keep them in a cold, dry garage charging them about every month or so. If the battery is clean & dry it will keep a good charge all winter.
