My .02 worth.
Put up on blocks.
drain all fuel and put some WD 40 or some kind of coating in carb. cast iron will rust when sitting dry for a long time. Drain and change oil, gets all the acidic deposits out of the oil pan. Put some oil down each cylinder and slowly turn over. As for cooling system, you should, probably drain it all, antifreeze will wear out and could freeze up after sitting for a while. Take batteries out and sell them or whatever, in 7 years, they will be no good. Blow out the fuel tank, then seal the cap with a peice of plastic wrap, this will keep the tank from rusting.Seal up all openings, birds, bees, rodents think this is an ideal place to nest up. Thats about all I can think of right now, if I think of anything else, I'll add it as I think of it.
