Drain, flush and refill the cooling system with fresh coolant. For proper composition of coolant see section "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities".
Do not store machine with crankcase or transmission filled with dirty oil. Drain oil, replace filter element and fill with fresh oil. Drain the oil while it is still hot.
Operate engine for a few minutes before adding rust inhibitor.
To protect the engine, use AR41785 rust inhibitor, which is available from your John Deere dealer. The kit provided under this order no. includes one can of rust inhibitor, masking tape and protective caps to cover all engine openings.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Add 375 cm
3
(23 cu.in.) of rust inhibitor to the engine oil.
2.
Fill the fuel tank. Start engine and operate all hydraulic functions several times. Shut off engine.
3.
Prepare 15 cm
3
(0.9 cu.in.) of rust inhibitor for each cylinder. Remove plug from intake manifold or starting fluid connecting pipe, and inject rust inhibitor into the aperture. Disconnect the electric cable at the injection pump and insulate the end of it. Crank the engine several times with the starter to spread the rust inhibitor around.

Once the rust inhibitor has been added, the engine must not be started again.
IMPORTANT:
Rust inhibitor agents evaporate very easily. For this reason, seal all openings after adding inhibitor. Keep the inhibitor container closed at all times.
Remove and clean the battery. Charge the battery and store it in a cool, dry place where it will not freeze. Keep battery fully charged while in storage. Seal all openings such as the vent tube and exhaust outlet.
Wash the exterior and painted surfaces of the machine using clear, cold water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Replace or repair worn or damaged parts. Touch up any damaged paintwork.
Store the machine in a dry, protected place. If the machine is stored outside, cover it with a waterproof tarpaulin.
Block up the machine so that tires do not touch the ground. Protect tires from heat and sunlight.
