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.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
