Well, storing for a year I wouldn't really consider long term. Pretty common for many operaters to let tractor sit for months without being used. If you know you are storing for upwards of say 2 to 3 years and longer, storing indoors would be a must. I would disconnect and remove battery, drain gas, drain coolant, and if it is possible for moisture to be in the oil type fluids from condensation I would drain all fluids. You may also want to consider blocking the tractor up so the wheel's are say an inch off the ground. This would prevent flat spots on tires and would reduce damage to tube and tire if it went flat from a really slow leak. If you have calcium chloride fluid in the tires you may want to remove it. It is very corrosive to rims if a leak should happen to accure. I am sure others will give you some more ideas.
