Storing For The Winter

[69 Post Sedan]

Upon further discussion, I will make adjustments to the jack stands or put it back on the ground. Thanks again for all the information.

That's basically what I do. As long as there is not salt on the roads in PA, I'll still take it out and drive it in the winter.

Out in the garage, I place plenty of old fashioned mouse traps and multiple trays of &quot;used&quot; kitty litter from multiple cats going #1. Mice don't like venturing anywhere that smells like cat territory. (I think it's a union thing).

The cats got the first mouse of the season last week. I came stumbling down the stairs at 6:00 am and barely missed this clump at the bottom of the stairs on the wood floor. It was a mouse head. Just a mouse head. It was like a miniature scene out of the Godfather. I then investigate further and find mouse parts scattered around the kitchen and dining room floor. Not a pretty sight. Of course the wife feigned sleep during the cleanup process. When she heard I was done she then called out for her cup of coffee...

Here's king mouser. (If I could only get him to venture out into the garage, the problem would be solved)

Well you are a &quot;dude&quot; novadude John! Clean roads and some good gas and we are rollin.

Put fabric softener sheets (Bounce)with shreds of steel wool at the wall perimeter of your garage approx. every 8' and add new ones every 3 weeks.

That fat mousehound looks like he has been doing an excellent job -- or you feed him well!! TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Winterized.. Also I fire mine up once a month on a day that there isnt any rain and get to operating temps and take them on a short drive. Even if its around the block. Also I change the oil in the spring after storage. I too do the dryer sheet trick..

At minimum, I try and turn the motor over once a month and run it if possible.........when I remember. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/stupid.gif[/img]

I also change the oil in the spring. My cousin changes his oil just before storing it in the fall and then again in the spring, he feels there will be moisture in the oil from sitting over the winter. I run Schaefer's 20w50 Supreme 7000 Synthetic oil at $7+ a quart and a Moroso 7 quart oil pan......I just do it once a year.

I double dose my gas and run it like that for a little while to make sure it all gets up into my carb then park it. I never start them in the winter unless there's a reason. I've always felt the potential damage you do to the exhaust system etc from condensation that won't get burned out isn't worth it. Then again, we're talking about a bunch of different climates here...
I change the oil in the spring before I start it.
