Went to check something on the tractor, its really damp right now in its tarped up kennel “shed” with the temps being so up & down with no sun I expect its going to be damp in there for some time. So I took my escape out of the garage & put the tractor under a better roof, let it run for a good 1/2 hour. Have the blade on the back so if it ever snows its ready to go.

A thought from something we used to do in the old days. Lay a tarp over it, and put some 2x4s or whatever around the edge of the tarp on the ground so it seals it up pretty good. Then put an old-fashioned incandescent bulb trouble light in there. You only need about a 25 or 40 W bulb. The heat from the bulb will keep the moisture away.
I have an ancient metal kitchen cabinet, the white porcelain ones, most of you guys probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but that’s where I keep my welding rods and a couple other things that would be moisture sensitive. I always have a lightbulb going 24/7 under the bottom shelf to keep them all dry. Works like a charm.
