My personal opinion - two machines that cannot bear outside storage are planters and combines.
Planters have lots of drive chains and bearings. I'm sure there are people who have good luck with outside storage, but I bet I have less planter issues because mine are inside. A 7000 planter is sought after. Be prepared for sharks if it really is in good condition.
Combines have thin metal that gets shines and unprotected after use. Then I t sits outside and rusts for 11 months. There is always chaff in places you can't get to that water can no matter how wel you clean it. A combine will rust in short order if left out. Ours was out for the first few years it was new but that was back in the early 60's. There wasn't a wire or sensor on it and the metal was twice as thick.
Two things that make or break a farmer's profit are his planter and his combine. Without either doing a good job you can't run in th black. That's hard enough as it is. Unless they are really gems that weather has not spoiled I would keep looking.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
