Change oil, and get a fogging soloution.. read directions on the fogger.. some are oil addatives as well as fuel addatives.

The fuel foggers are also decent about protecting the carb.. etc.

I'd put it on jack stands and reduce tire pressure as well as remove battery, and put masking tape over air / breather / intake ports and vents, and a piece of tape over key switch, after lubing it. Cover exhaust port as well.. keeps mice out, and reduces air movement, thus moisture.

I've hear of some people that go as far as filling all the sumps al the way up to prevent moisture / surface rust.. etc... up to you.. and depends on the specific tractor design as to whether that is waranted.. etc.. or applicable..

Put a healthy coating of grease on all exposed hyd pistons, and then wrap with newspaper and masking tape.

Make sure it has good new strong AF fluid that has circulated before engine shutdown... grease all fittings.
