Bob: After disagreeing with Bill, and I do like his suggestions other than those I mentioned. I felt I should be a bit more constructive. I bought a truck rear end and housing once, as I knew the one in my truck was less than healthy. I bought it for two reasons, price was right and it was in imaculate condition. I had no place convenient to store inside. I filled it right full to top with used gear oil. Turned pinion upward and placed a can over it. I had seen unused gear boxes turn rusty at oil surface in past. When it came time to use this rear end some 3 years later, I drained all the oil and it was still imaculate. If I were you I would fill all tractor gear boxes right to top with used oil. I would fill hydraulic system right to top. I would fill cooling system right to cover with sufficient strength coolant for cold weather expected. If tractor is diesel fill it full. If is gas I would drain completely and fill with diesel. The diesel will evaporate less and will also be less volitile. Best way to avoid condensation damage is not leave a space for moisture.
