- Clean the fuel system and replace fuel filters annually. This helps prevent fuel line blockages and ensures proper engine combustion, especially during cold weather.
- Before seasonal storage, thoroughly clean the tractor, grease all fittings, and top off fluids. Store the tractor in a dry location and consider adding a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation.
