I have not rebuilt any tractors. I and the rest of my family always runs their tractors.

A car/tractor should probably be ran some every year, and put to work sometimes to keep it healthy, JUST LIKE US. At least "run in" the motor. I don't know though. My father-in-law was complaining a couple years ago when his neighbor had a sale and when it came to the tractors, that he hadn't ran in ??? 5-10 years, he was looking around going these people are going to get a tractor that wont hold their fluids. The tractors looked nice just were never used. That is just my opinion - could've been the case very easily.
