Diana: Make note of how I said water gets in the transmission. That gear shift lever collects a lot of water, even in one 2" rainfall. I venture to guess the shift lever collects ten times as much water as the exhaust pipe. Exhaust pipes don't collect much water unless it is deflected. I once left my Farmalls 560 diesel and 300 in the middle of a 100 acre field, during a 9" rainfall, in 24 hours. Tractors hardly blew black soot when I started them, however the transmissions were way over full.
On my 130, I have a double layer 6" square section of inner tube, pierced in center, with pierced hole over shift lever. I have a glue of some sort water proofing it around the lever. The inner tube hangs down over shift lever tower, running off any water. It works, that tractor has been out all summer with no build up in transmission. If I leave SA and 130 out, I usually put a bucket over the shift lever, as well as can on mufler. If I forget, even one 2" ranifall and I have oil coming out around the seals.
