Unless it has a fresh new flawless paint job, FORGET the tarp. Just park it outside in a relatively open space (not on the north side of a building, in between buildings, etc.). Someplace where the sun can hit it preferably. Just make sure the exhaust is covered really good. Like maybe double covered. Whatever you normally do when parked outside (can, bottle, whatever), plus an empty 5 gal. plastic bucket over the top of that. A lot of talk about the sun not being good on tires. My H sits outside all the time, and the tires don't seem to be bothered much by the sun. It got new tires in the early 90's, and set outside for the last 15 to 20 years (periodically used, so the same side isnt down all the time). Even if sun is damaging, and I'm not saying that it's not at all, one season isn't going to bother tires on an H much. A heavy ply, high pressure tire, with heavy loads and fast speeds such as a trailer or truck tire, different story. A little ground rot or sun damage will BLOW OUT a tire like that when put back in use. But the same damage on H tires, won't equate to a blow out type scenario (with low pressures/slower speeds). As far as the mag is concerned, you may very well be doing more harm than good if you do something to prevent the sun light from hitting it.
There is many many H's and M's that sit outside all the time. The big thing to prevent is rain water down the exhaust. If you can prevent that, you have won the game. A little fading on the paint (if it has paint) is not really even going to be noticeable unless, like I said, it is a fresh new flawless paint job.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
