First, thanks to each of you for your prompt responses to my earlier post asking for advice on chemicals to preserve "original" tractors. Actually, my question was a sort of "what if" since I have not yet bought the tractor, and my family strongly feels I should not buy another tractor of any description, "original" or otherwise. And thank you for the continuing wisdom that appears on your portion of YT.

if you were going to store a tractor as is, i would try coating the tractor with a product like cosmoline. if you see any new machined parts you see a sticky coating on it. that is cosmoline. the military used it a lot when they would mothball machinery. it can be washed off with kerosene or parts solvent.

It is somewhat of an addictive hobby and sometimes family is what it takes to save us from being broke with a warehouse full of tractors. I know,my wifes wisdom and forsight (hate for tractors) has saved me a couple of times from the "gotta have it" syndrome. Treasure the ones you have and post if you have questions. Life is good!
