The exposition included not only the combines and crawler tractors of the day but also old farm trucks that had been restored. So here I found myself among machines that were, in some ways, superior or at least equal to the behemoths that crawl across...

Don't leave the tank only partially full, as this invites condensation. This could include maintenance on accessory items such as buckets, winches and snowplows. If you plan keep one in use all winter—perhaps with a snow-blower attachment—a set of...

Any machines that you won't use during the winter—lawn mowers, string trimmers, and so on—should be stored away in sheds or garages or (at the very least) under a lean-to where they'll stay dry and be protected from the weather.

Replace the filter and reattach fuel lines before reopening the fuel line to the tank. You might not need to flush and recharge your small farm tractor's radiator with new coolant each year; however, seasonal evaluation of water-based coolants with a...
