I'd change the oil for sure, anti freeze would depend on how old it is. I'd add Sta-bil to gas is in the tank, start the engine, and shut off the gas at the tank to let the carb run out of gas. A bit of oil down each plug hole will help the rings. When you take the battery out make sure it is completly charged. A trickle charger hooked to an automatic garage door LIGHT outlet will give it a small charge anytime the door is activated. No one even needs to watch it. End result is battery stays charged. You need to jack the tractor up and support it so the tires are not in contact with the dirt AND reduce the air pressure. I'd say the pressure should be from 5-8 lbs. Anything you do now will make it that much easier to start when you get back.
THANK YOU for your service and will keep you in our prayers.
