And what farm book would that be? When we farmed, we never did any of that. We changed the oil after so many hours of running, and never had any sludge problems. The rest of that, nah! We took batteries inside, and sat them on the floor, yes the floor, and a concrete floor on top of that. We never covcered the intakes or exhaust pipes, they had flappers. Never had any problems due to them sitting outside, or, again, sludge in the engines.

In my experience over the past 60 years or so, there are many factors that contribute to sludge build-up in an engine.
Sitting idle is not one of them.
