Storing TractorIMPORTANT: Any time tractor will not be used for several months, use this procedure to minimize corrosion and deterioration. Use an AR41785 Engine Storage Kit and an extra 0.95 L (1 pt) of AR41870 Corrosion Inhibitor. 1. Service air cleaner (A). (See Replacing Air Cleaner Elements in section 55. of your Maintenance Guide.)2. If coolant has been in tractor for two years, flush cooling system. (See your John Deere dealer.) Add 50 percent antifreeze water mixture. Test coolant for adequate cold weather protection. 3. Change engine oil and filter (B). (See Changing Engine Oil and Filter-5425, 5525 and 5625 in section 30.) or Changing Engine Oil and Filter-5225 and 5325 in section 40.) 4. Drain fuel and add back 4 L (1 gal) of fuel. Then add 0.4 L (12 oz) of corrosion inhibitor. 5. Add 0.25 L (9 oz) of corrosion inhibitor to transmission-hydraulic system fill port (C). 6. Depress clutch and start engine. Run engine until it reaches operating temperature. Also raise and lower rockshaft several times. Shut off engine. 7. Add 0.5 L (16 oz) more inhibitor to fuel tank at filler/cap (D).

8.
Add 0.5 L (16 oz) inhibitor to engine crankcase at filler (A).
9. Disconnect fuel shut-off solenoid wiring lead/connector (B). (This will prevent engine from starting while cranking.) 10. Remove air intake hose at manifold. Pour 0.1 L (3 oz) inhibitor into manifold and replace hose. Pull hand throttle back to slow idle position. Crank engine only a few revolutions. 11. Remove fan belt after it has cooled. 12. Remove and clean battery. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep battery charged. 1 13. Block clutch pedal in the disengaged position. 14. Coat exposed metal surfaces, such as adjustable front axles, if extended, with grease or a corrosion inhibitor. 15. Use tape to seal air cleaner inlet hole (C), dust unloader valve (D), exhaust pipe, crankcase filler, fuel cap, coolant recovery tank, and transmission-hydraulic system filler/cap. 16. Cover dash with opaque material to prevent gauges from fading. 17. Raise tires off ground. Protect them from heat and sunlight. 18. Thoroughly clean tractor. Touch up any painted surfaces that are scratched or chipped. 19. If tractor must be stored outside, cover it with a waterproof material. 20. Cab: Rotate A/C compressor pulley (E) several turns once a month to prevent seizure of compressor. |
