Even though you probably run your tractor year-round, cold weather reduces routine maintenance to topping off the fuel and checking the oil. All other maintenance is deferred until things warm up a bit. Visit our website for a checklist of maintenance procedures to keep your tractor running at its peak during spring and summer chores. Before you start, try to locate the manual for your tractor. If you can’t, your dealer might can supply you with a copy, or you can probably find one online. Try TheMotorBookstore.com. It has a pretty complete set of manuals for older tractors at a reasonable price. Learn more at www.hobbyfarms.com/tractor-farm-maintenance-spring-checkup.
