TRACTOR STORAGE
Tractors that are to be stored for an extended period of
time , should be protected during the storage period.
The following is a suggested list of precautionary
measures that should be carried out when storing the
tractor for a long time.
1
Thoroughly clean the tractor. Use touch-up paint
· when there are any bear metal spots showing on
painted surfaces to help prevent rust.
2
Check the tractor for any worn or damaged parts
·
and install new parts as required.
3
Raise the lift arms hydraulically to their highest
·
position so the lift piston is in a completely ex-
tended position. This will protect the cylinder wall
surfaces from corrosion.
4
Lubricate the tractor. Drain and refill the transmis-
. sion, the rear axle, and hydraulic lift system with
fresh oil. Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh oil.
Change the respective filters also. Drain the oil
from the working mechanism of the fuel pump and
refill with fresh lubricating oil. Clean the air cleaner
and replace parts as needed.
5
If the tractor is stored or removed from operation
· fro an extended period of time, other special pre-
cautions should also be taken to protect the fuel
injection and the injector nozzles against corrosion
and gumming during the storage period.
• Before storing, the fuel system should be flushed
with a special oil, a quantity of which will remain
in the system while the engine is shut down for
the storage
period.
48
• Special diesel fuel system flushing oils are avail-
able from most retail oil stores. If special flushing
oil is not readily available, mix one U.S. pint
(.47L) of SEA 10 non-detergent engine oil with
1 0 U.S. quarts (9.4L) of No 2 diesel fuel, which is
a suitable substitute.
• Drain the fuel tank and pour two U.S. gallons
(7.5L) of special Flushing oil (or lubricating mix-
ture) in the fuel tank
• Run the engine for 1 0 minutes to assure com-
plete distribution of the special oil through the
injection pump and fuel injectors. There is no
need to remove the injector nozzles.
• Fill the fuel tank with No. 1 diesel fuel
Important: Do not use No. 2 diesel fuel for winter
storage because of the wax separation and setting at
low temperatures.
6. Drain the radiator and engine block. Flush the
cooling system, close the drain valves, and fill with
anti-freeze that contains a rut
inhibitor.
7.
Remove the battery and clean it
thoroughly.
Clean
the terminals and coat them with a corrosion inhibi-
tor. Be sure that it is fully charged and that the
electrolyte is to its' proper level. Place the battery
in a cool dry place which is above freezing. The
battery should be charged periodically during the
storage period.
