Yeah, they have some models prone to this it seems, I have a 150 sitting in my yard waiting for a trans and those front radius arms were heavily scaled with rust before it was parked, one small area of the frame started flaking too, have to keep em in a dry area, ground stays moist under it, keep moving er in a different spot. Funny though, mine does not have the rust problems in any body panels, kept er out of the salt and cleaned, the 1996 models seem to have galvanized or otherwise protected body panels.
Rangers have the same trouble with spring shackle brackets, they'll rust right off, have one of those in the yard, started to flake heavily, but the first round of that, scale it all off clean it up a bit and use POR-15, from behind the cab to the end of the frame, though the frame does not rust like these other components.
Junk dealer near me says nothing lasts long in the yard, few years and they're almost not worth crushing.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
