A - Air Cleaner

B - Cooling System

C - Engine Oil Drain Plug

D - Engine Oil Filter

E - Hydraulic-Transmission Oil Dipstick


IMPORTANT: 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).

  2. If coolant has been in tractor for two years, flush cooling system (B). Add 50 percent antifreeze-water mixture. Test coolant for adequate cold weather protection.

  3. Remove engine oil drain plug (C) to change engine oil and filter (D).

  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 hydraulic-transmission oil dipstick (E).

  6. Depress clutch and start engine. Run engine until it reaches operating temperature. Also raise and lower rockshaft several times. Shut off engine.

    A - Fuel Tank Filler/Cap

    B - Crankcase Filler/Breather

    C - Boot

    D - Fuel Shut-Off Solenoid Wiring Lead

    Add 0.5 L (16 oz) more inhibitor to fuel tank at filler/cap (A).



  8. Add 0.5 L (16 oz) inhibitor to engine crankcase at filler/breather (B).

  9. Remove boot (C) and disconnect fuel shut-off solenoid wiring lead (D). 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. Loosen alternator/fan belt after it has cooled.

  12. Remove and clean battery. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep it charged.1

  13. Tie or 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.

    A - Air Cleaner Inlet Hole

    B - Crankcase Filler/Breather

    C - Dust Unloader Valve

    D - Transmission-Hydraulic System Filler/Cap

    Use tape to seal air inlet hole (A), dust unloader valve (C), exhaust pipe, crankcase filler/breather (B), fuel cap, coolant recovery tank, and transmission-hydraulic system filler/cap (D).



  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.

    A - A/C Compressor Pulley

    Cab: Rotate A/C compressor pulley (A) several turns once a month to prevent seizure of compressor.



1 Disconnect battery ground cable for short-term storage periods (20 to 90 days).
