I'd drain the tranny and retop with clean oil. I'd put a tablespoon of oil in each cylinder
and crank that over a few times to get it sloshed
around real good. Don't worry about drenching the valves, they'll benefit with a good
film of oil and burn off with the first firing. I'd do this once a year, crank it over. As one poster said here, it's a good idea to get the tires off the ground and let a little air out.

I had an old MH30 that sat in the field for 4 years with a tarp over the engine. I'd put some old crankcase oil (you'd be better off with clean oil) in each cylinder and turned it over once a year. Finally sold the engine to a guy who appreciated finding an unseized engine.
