I change the engine oil to fresh oil, change oil filter were applical and add seafoam to the crankcase oil and to the gas tank, then i let it run for a few minutes to charge the battery up, shut it off and top the tank with fresh high test gas. At this time the air cleaner is replaced and the tractor is greased and the tranny / hydraulic oils are checked were applical.
On my cub cadets i leave the batteries in them since there all new, but with my cubs i pull the batteries put them on blocks of wood and trickle charge them.
I use seafoam all summer anyway in everything just to lube the uppers in the air coolded engines and a little in my cubs too.
If in the middle of the winter we have a mild week with a warm up (january thaw) i may or may not start them up.
Since stabil messed up the 4 carbs on my streetbike i won't use it anymore.
