Re: Winter
Way to go, Old Henry. Henry Himself would be very proud of you. He did, after all, build 'em to run in the winter.

Re: Winter
In Northern Ohio have antifreeze in cooling system. However
1. Disconnect battery and use a "on demand charger" to maintain charge 2. Change oil & filter 3. Fill gas tank add marvel mystery oil and gas stabilizer 4. Pump tires to 35PSI 5. Wash vehicle 6. Add mothballs to interior 7. Cover vehicle with car 8. Fill about 12 aluminum "turkey roasting pans" with about 3/4" of Calcium Chloride to absorb any moisture. |

Re: Winter
Yup the Mag Chloride on the roads here will eat all kinds of things, stuff hangs out even when it gets dry, small amount of wet on the road will stir it up. Best to go out when the snow is really deep, no Mag Chloride then.

Re: Winter
We spend all that time bringing them back to life no way am I packing it away for 7 or 8 months . When it gets real cold like -40 we just build a little fire under the engine till the grease turns back into oil and drive away .

Re: Winter
Oh, and if you're going to drive on the wet salty roads in the winter be sure and take your windshield washer. Here's ours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwBk24rxpq0
