Greetings, thank you in advance for your thoughts on the
topic.
I have made a decision that a project is going to need to
wait 3-10 years. Hopefully on the shorter end of that
spectrum but going out to the garage after bedtime for an
hour or two at a time is becoming less feasible with a 4, 2.5,
and 10 month old. Pretty exhausted and end up just staring
at my prized possession. Need the garage space to keep
plow tractor warm.
So, how would you prepare tractor for Setting? I hate to say
it, but under a deck outside.
This is a diesel. The injection pump is off the tractor and
leaks. Not rebuilding it at this time. All sheet metal is off and
painted. Gonna leave it off hanging in a corner of the
garage. The engine transmission and frame have degreaser
working off the wrong Ford blue over the original red. I put a
half cup of ATF in each injector hole in the head before
reinstalling the injectors. Was thinking of wrapping the thing
in cheap plastic, though I imagine our field mice will find a
way in. Block down clutch pedal. Put it up on blocks. Ensure
any locations water could get in the diffs or rear end are
well covered.
Anything else?
