What cool yard art!! You could put "floors" under the three levels to facilitate planting or turn it into a 3-story bird house with flowers on three sides to protect the nests.
I love the look of this! You may want to use a wire brush (like a grill cleaning brush) and clean off loose debris. Metal paints to match your yard could be used. (Personally, I'd leave it as is, but I'm a nerd that way!) ;D
IF you repaint - Tractor paint is about the toughest stuff there is, and Yellow industrial tractor/Backhoe is probably close enough. I'd put lenses in it and a few LED bulbs and have a front yard light.
(Now I'm gonna have to find me an aviation lamp or two ; )
I was thinking of sanding and painting it a street light color then take wooden disks, paint green, yellow, red. Clean out the inside (Probably first before you paint it - I get all exited when thinking of new ideas! Cut a bluebird-sized hole in the green disk and fix up the inside of the interior to bluebird size nest. Well, dang. Just put a hole in it and see who flies in!
FANTASTIC FIND! I love the suggestions of birdhouse and you know even if you don't do that purposely the birds may move in anyway- something to think about.
What a fantabulous find! I’d paint it fire engine red. Then paint each “ light “ there respective color. Put it on a pole place it in the ground and let the birds 🦅 have a new home! I’m sure they’d find their way soon!
