Mornin' Casey,

I'm with Hugh on this one as I live smack in the center of the hail/tornado belt.

Farmalls are built so much tougher than the newer sheetwork on cars and trucks that they can withstand the severe weather; they were designed that way and meant to be left outside. Not to mention the fire hazzard of being left in a building.

I would never park a tractor inside but rather keep them separated out and strung all over the yard. I've got way too much invested in 'em to risk them being all huddled up together inside an enclosure.

I can redo a little faded paint every dozen years or so, but I just can't afford to replace those tractors.

As far as the tires go, yes sunlight will work on a tire over a long period of time; but, nothing like the ill effects of inactivity and running them on asphalt. That's the real killers to a tractor tire.

Just my take,

Allan
