Sometimes a new pipe will help clean out the threads.

If all else fails, weld the pipe in if the manifold is otherwise ok. I have done this several times with excellent success. Preheat is important. Grind the top of the manifold around the hole bright. Then grind the pipe where it will be welded. Then screw in the pipe as good as it will go and start the tractor. When the manifold is good and hot weld it out with ni-rod. With the tractor rinning if you're in a hurry (put a board in place to block the fan) or kill the tractor, weld, then start it back up until the weld cools. I've not had one fail.
