TC25D winterize

[mandor]

Well, I am not planning to use my tractor much during the winter. I will use the walk behind snow blower for the driveway. There may be the occasional need to move some snow or some firewood. I will change the oil and filter again and the do the 200 hour service early as it has 172 hours now and plan to go ahead and do it before leaving it set. With all the notes about the battery tray I will look that over and make sure it is all set. It will stay inside the non-heated garage and not outside. Is there anything else that I should be looking at? I plan on starting it every now and then to make sure all is working. My one concern is the fuel. This is my first diesel and I don't want to cause myself a problem. Thanks for any help in advance. Tim R

Use the maximum amount of your favorite additive and run the tractor a while after adding it so the treated fuel will be throughout the system.

Thanks for the help. My understanding of the fuel additive is to keep it from jelling/waxing up. While at the dealership to pick up all the filters, I will ask them what additive they suggest. Tim R
