Why would the pistons stick? Back to what rustred said squirt some oil in the cylinders and do not start it unless you need to USE it. Before you shut it off, shut off the gas and run the carb dry. Pull the coil wire and then every couple of weeks hit the starter and crank it over a few turns. Maybe run it like you say every 6 months.
..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..?? Is this in one of Henrys biblical writings? Henry Ford was a businessman, part of his business was selling engine parts. If you do not think he would steer you wrong to make more profit you better reconsider. I will give him this pass. If that was in one of his manuals, that was likely written before every farmer had a battery charger or even jumper cables. So this would probably keep the tractor starting reliably all through the down season. Did the engine suffer additional wear due to this? YES!

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.
