Covered, or uncovered...under a overhead or out in the middle of the back yard?
Id say its still likely to be ok, unless it was filled with water/snow

Covered with tarp part of the time and uncovered another part of the time. In the middle of the train museum yard.
I see large welders on trailers, and flatbeds all the time here. I know they are not inside a shop - they are on pipelines and ranches...... Most are the Generator type - but some are not.
If you can get it plugged in and turned on - even if you don't draw power on a load - you know the transformer isn't toast - check to see if it draws power in the standby.
Otherwise - you roll dice and see how it comes out.

Likely it is fine, but you should pull the covers off and give it a good blast with compressed air.
This welder works great. That's the final conclusion. I was surprised but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

You got lucky. I'd still store it in the garage or under cover, even though it has proven it's a tough guy.
