You have 2 options, both contingent on slope/gravity, sounds like you could install a small catch basin and pipe if you can "daylight" it to a lower area, or install a perforated structure with filter fabric and lots of clean stone, if the soils will percolate it fast enough. Hard to figure from the information given, but the other option is the determine the best area to slope it off to.
I certainly can relate and have photos to illustrate how our place has the same problem, but much worse. Its apparent whomever built it was not paying attention, a complete fool or what have you, the place is built too low and no real drainage, has gutters and one catch basin pipe out to the pond, but as the place aged, things can change, get much worse.
Fortunately, one of the natural skills I have always felt I had mastered since a young age was to make water run, starting with a darned hoe, ending with spending part of my construction career as an equipment operator, dewatering sites was always a task to be done.
The minute difference in grade at our place makes it real difficult to create surface drainage, and maintain it, as one rut across something you just graded will stop up the water.
Its fairly easy in most situations to use a loader bucket to grade things so they will drain, takes some experience to have the feel for it, but realtively easy and no pipe needed, just seasonally things can become a mess, long term, one should set up a transit level, shoot some elevations, plot out the site and either install basins and pipe or adjust the surface.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
