Joe here,
In the late 80's bought a 15 acre property of mostly woods with a 2 acre an old farm field in the center. The woods being gypsy moth ravaged needed restoring so i bought a JD Model 40w. It spent most of its time in the weather. Last year I was able to put up a garage and bring the tractor inside. the weather took its toll in the lsat few years and I am now starting the process of getting the Jd back in running condition.
