Take out the spark plugs, squirt a generous amount of oil in each cylinder, crank the engine slowly (too much oil will result in oil squirting out the plug hole) then reinstall the plugs. Drain the carb. If it is really damp in your area, consider removing the mag and taking it inside. (this is extreem, but in extreem climates might prevent haveing to file the points in spring). Make sure the tires are properly inflated. REmove the battery, if it has one. Cut a stick of wood the length necessary to hold the clutch pedal about half way down, to prevent the plates from sticking to each other. Be carefull to NOT set the brakes, or they may stick to the drums. Cover the exhaust outlet to keep mice out. Make sure there is no opening for mice to get into the clutch area, which is their favorite place. If you dont have a screened inlet to the air cleaner, or dont have one, block off any opening to keep mice out. If your town does not have laws against it, consider buying a box trailer that is no longer safe for road use. Around here, they go for $500-$1000. If you dig a hole to back the wheels into, you can drive your tractors right in. I have 4 of these, and they hold several tractors each, or in my case, several antique cars and tractors each. Tricycle tractors can be parked nose to nose, overlaping to save space.
