I have a collection of FarmAll Cubs (1949, 1951 & 1956), the sad truth of the matter is I've got too much old iron & these see very little use. They come out of the barn every spring/ summer, I get them cleaned-up/ fresh gas/ fresh oil & then they go back into storage...each one might see 1/2hr run time a year (maybe/ probably less). My 56' caused me a little consirn this year because she started smoking a little more than usual, I had my boy drive it a few hours to run all the old gas out & filled w/ fresh & put new oil in it & she's still smoking a little, but, very slight. I just changed all the oil/ filled the gas tanks w/ fresh fuel/ added Stabil & ran the carbs out. I put them in the barn & put down mice poison & mothballs to try to keep the critters out of them & pulled the batteries out...is there anything else I should be doing for my cubs? Likely, with the kids getting older now, they will see less & less run time & may even go a few years w/ out any use....

I have one cub that only gets used in the summer, and the last ank of gas I run through it I mix a wak charge of 2 cycle oil with. It smokes a little, but so far no stuck rings, etc.

Don't forget to block the clutches on the tractors. That will prevent the clutch from sticking to the flywheel.

Pull the plugs out and put some oil in each cylinder. My self I would fill them. That way if you do leave them sit a few years the rings will not stick and the cylinders will not rust
