If the machine sits most of the time, it may need to be adjusted frequently. The steering clutches tend to absorb moisture when the machine sits, and when that happens they swell and get thicker - and thusly, clutch free-play disappears. Then, after you use the machine for a while, the moisture cooks out of them, and the adjustment changes again. Thats why Deere changed over to wet-clutches that ride in oil starting with the 350C series. Some people choose to leave the drain plugs out of the clutch housings which provides better ventilation. But . . . if you have them out, and forget they're out, and cross a creek or pond, they'll fill up with water and get sludged. I've had no problems storing my crawlers with dry clutches, but I keep them inside a building parked on concrete.
