What should I do to the motor to store the tractor for a couple of years until I catch back up?

Is this gas or diesel? If diesel you should run test oil through the fuel system or may be out major cash when you go to use it a couple of years later. Questions?

If I where going to do that I would fill the cylinders with tranny fluid, drain the gas tank and then put some oil in the tank to keep it from rusting. Also drain and refill all oils

Change oil, and get a fogging soloution.. read directions on the fogger.. some are oil addatives as well as fuel addatives.

The fuel foggers are also decent about protecting the carb.. etc.

I'd put it on jack stands and reduce tire pressure as well as remove battery, and put masking tape over air / breather / intake ports and vents, and a piece of tape over key switch, after lubing it. Cover exhaust port as well.. keeps mice out, and reduces air movement, thus moisture.

I've hear of some people that go as far as filling all the sumps al the way up to prevent moisture / surface rust.. etc... up to you.. and depends on the specific tractor design as to whether that is waranted.. etc.. or applicable..

Put a healthy coating of grease on all exposed hyd pistons, and then wrap with newspaper and masking tape.

Make sure it has good new strong AF fluid that has circulated before engine shutdown... grease all fittings.
