Storing multiple cubs?

[darkminion_17]

Most of the 30+ I have get no use for 4+ years so I have drained the gas in the tanks and I unscrew the nut holding the fuel bowl, and let the gas run out it. Only 3 or 4 I use for summer/winter duties.
All my gas is stored in metal gas cans, and only have 3 batteries to tend to.

Just wondering the significance of the statement above? Beside potential rust? Not questioning just curious as this is the first time I have heard of someone specifically mentioning a metal can.

Thanks,

The cans are galvanized. ..

I usually do all the above listed when I store the 25+ I have. On the gear drives I lock the clutch pedal down to prevent the clutch plates from sticking to the disc. I believe that procedure is listed under the IH Operator's manual for Cub Cadets under "long term storage". Make sure the tires are properly inflated, grease it, etc...doing all this really does pay off in the long run IMO.

Park them and forget them. Last year I left them all outside with whatever amount of fuel they had in them still in the tank. They sat from November to march/April and they all fired back up in the spring. This year I'd like to put my good ones in storage
