Hi,
Slop a load of oil all over the gears and bearings, stick it in a big thick plastic bag. Keep it in a dry place.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

I don't like plastic bags. You could end up with some condense. Mych better to leave it in some old bead spreads or big towels in a tempered place.

I would put it on some wood so the damp from the ground don't get to it
