A couple of things that I might add to this discussion just to throw them out, and not directed at anyone specific:
When we put a seized-up machine in a bag and set it in a car in hot temperatures, or hit it with a hot hair dryer, while limbering up the stuck lubricants are we ruining the finish?
If the non-climate-controlled garage or shed is the only place that you have to store a machine, won’t it fair better than buried in a sanitary landfill?
