I agree with using fuel stabilizer, also the full tank opinion to minimize condensation. According to some reports I have recently read, gas, as it comes out of the pump, will start to deteriorate in about 2 weeks, so, for over winter storage, treatment is a must. I would test the antifreeze for ph and protection level and correct if/as needed. I would run the tractor up to operating temp and change the oil and filter. The gear/hyd oil is probably ok if it is pretty much clear of moisture. With this done I would not run it. However, if you do, make sure you warm it up good so the condensation that forms in the crankcase and exhaust will be dried out or it will cause interior rust and corrosion.
