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've found it makes for an easier first re-start in the spring - the carb will be filled with fresh gas from the tank, not the stuff that's been sitting in the bowl all winter with all the lighter fractions evaporated out of it... 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!
