karl: Most modern day tractors with curved stacks don't have the stack going directly down to manifold. There are drains in the systems.
I'd still cover any stack if tractor is being parked more than a few days. If stack is tight, no tractor ever got enough water in the engine overnight, to harm anything unless there was something deflecting water down the stack. One of the worst items to deflect water down a stack is one of those exhaust caps held open by wind. Tractors parked near trees or higher buildings can take in a lot of water, but there again it's deflected water.
A tractor parked in the middle of an open field with tight exhaust, will take in very little water even in a 6" rain fall. I once got caught with Farmalls 560 and 300 in the middle of a field, 9" of rain in 24 hours, we couldn't easily get to those tractors other than by boat, and didn't get to them for 3 days. When we started them, very little black wet soot blew from the stacks. I'd be willing to bet most of it was trapped right in the mufler.
