I have 5 antique tractors....3 of them have to live outside during the winter months (coast of Maine gets wicked cold for the next 5 months)...they may sit a month or two or three before I need to start them (generally, I've move them 2 or 3 times during the snow months just to keep them from being totally encapsolated in ice/snow. I have given them all oil changes/ good lube/ put Stabil in the gas, made sure my anti-freeze / water mix was 50/50, pulled the batteries & put good quality tarps on them....I know it would be better to get them off the ground so I don't get flat spots in the tires, but, I did that one year & it was more of a problem than anything else...is there anything else I should be doing to better take care of what I got??

I'm asking because 2 of the 4 tractors I had to start today gave me trouble (I had to pop start them)... one of those tractors was run the day before & the other one maybe sat 3 or 4 weeks.
