Unless you live in an extremely mild and dry climate, you
have to worry about rust. The mill will cool down during
the winter, then when a warm moist spring day arrives
water will condense all over that frigid cast iron. Been
there, done that.

Options include cosmoline or other coatings, or providing
a small steady source of heat to keep the machine slightly
warmer than the surrounding air. (Maybe a trouble light
with 40-75 watt bulb tucked inside somewhere?)

Good luck, sounds like you got a great deal.
