You're doing the right things Josh. Just a couple minor suggestions: 1 - Top off the fuel tanks to minimize tank "breathing" and buildup of condensation. 2 - Shut off the fuel at the sediment bulb, then let the engine run the carburetors dry.

I wouldn't worry about jacking the tractors to get the load off the tires. Just make sure they're fully aired up when you put the tractor away. Any flat spots that develop in storage will disappear after a few minutes of running. Stay warm!
