You should start your tractor and idle engine at least 1/2 hour, getting it up to hot operating temps, at least every 30 days, every 2 weeks even better, if you don't use it for working. Invest in a good float charger like the DELTRAN BATTERY TENDER to keep a full charge on the battery when tractor is in the barn/shed so it is ready to go when you are. Note a standard garage trickle charger is not the same and will do nothing if you think you can just connect it whenever you need to use tractor or detect a low or dead battery. Keep fuel fresh and tank topped off. Keep oil clean and full. Should have a Preventative Maintenance Schedule plan/checklist to verify critical features are at optimum performance before starting the tractor every time. Fluid levels, loose nuts and bolts, and tire pressure are some standar items. Get in the habit of cleaning out radiator fins and any chaf/debris that may have collected from a days use. Always use a Thermostat. Always turn Sediment Bulb Valve to the OFF position at shut down. Monitor oil pressure. At idle, normal is 27 PSI at start up on an N. As engine gets hot PSI may decrease some but if a drastic fall like 15-10 or less means engine is worn out and a rebuild is in order.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
