Default treestand safety

Hello. Last year was my first time bowhunting and I used a ladder stand that I left on my property through the winter. Stopped by to check on it the other day and the hardware is rusty but the steel frame looks and feels fine when I climb on it (little surface rust). I don't want to make a practice of leaving it out all year but this year was an exception. What do you think of using it again as long as I replace the hardware, check to see all the welded joints are still strong, and bring it inside to store this winter?
