Jon: For neigh unto 3/4 of a century hay farmers with fleets of F series, letters series and even number series, have been backing them under cover in fall; shut off switch, gas, check antifreeze and disconnecting battery, and never taking another look until May. I know it maybe isn't right but that is just the way it happened. I know of a farmer, had one new 84 series diesel with loader he ran year around. He must have had a dozen Hs, Ms 300s, etc. He never cared if they were all running on a given day. You would see him backing them in after manure spreading in fall. In spring you wold see him at IH dealer buying a box full of points, condensers, plugs batteries, etc. Then came tow days, he never tried the starter, just tow started them as they came out of shed, about two days of replacing the above, changing oil, etc. and he was set for another season. He said it was the only way he could afford enough tractors to get the job done.
