I have a 2015 CAT 259D. I don't use the unit much during winter months (now until late March). I don't have a garage to store it in although it is parked underneath a carport. Aside from a battery tender, are there any other recommendations for winter storage (PS. I live in lower Michigan - Detroit area) Thanks
Make sure there is no water in your fuel system that can freeze up, and check your antifreeze level in the cooling system. I personally would tarp over the machine if it was mine just to help protect it from the elements.
Near Detroit? I would Hilti it to the concrete and put Lojack gps on it.
Well...it's actually in Bloomfield Hills. No Lojack needed in this area
I'd just give it a good cleaning inside and out. That and make sure the coolant strength is up to snuff.
Top off the fuel, unplug the battery, stuff something in the cold air intake to keep varmits out, and cover it all with a plastic tarp.....done
Get some of the rodent repellant pouches as well. Mice get in and like to chew.
x2 on the rodent stuff. It's amazing how such a small animal can cause so much damage.
Funny the notification came up. Sure enough I jump in my machine and a big field mouse is right at my feet. So now I added poison too. The mice can choose which to respond to. The pouches or the poison.
