Nice lineup and glad you are high and dry....I worry about you folks and the bad flooding up there.
I try to run my equipment at least once a month for half an hour more or less, getting the temp up to normal operating. In the winter this means blocking off the radiator with cardboard. One thing it does is to keep sediment in the engine oil in suspension so that when you drain your oil it drains out, rather than pile up as silt on the bottom of the oil pan. Next time you drain your oil stick your finger in the drain hole and rub the bottom of the oil pan.
Case in point, recently bought a 1988 tractor with 900 hrs. Oil was black....was an estate sale and the old guy died off....no telling how long it had been sitting......moving on, first thing I did was to change the oil and filter......put maybe 30 minutes on the new oil, checked the level and it was black again. Drained it out and stuck my finger in the hole and came back with about ¼" of sludge. Put new oil in again and this time put a can of Sea Foam in the crankcase and ran the engine for about 30 minutes at 1000 rpms.
Drained that oil out and the sludge was gone. Put in new oil and filter again, and after 34 hours and counting, the oil has some black streaking, but for the most part is still honey colored.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
