Why would the pistons stick? Back to what rustred said squirt some oil in the cylinders and do not start it unless you need to USE it. Before you shut it off, shut off the gas and run the carb dry.

..You should start your tractor and idle engine at least 1/2 hour, getting it up to hot operating temps, at least every 30 days, every 2 weeks even better..?? Is this in one of Henrys biblical writings? Henry Ford was a businessman, part of his business was selling engine parts.
