Scientifically, it would take literally hundreds of years for enough condensation to build up in the rear end of a tractor to become a problem. I certainly hope you change the fluids more often than that.
Anecdotally, we've got tractors whose transmission fluid has not been changed in 30 years (oil still looks like new), and they will still go at any temperature. They literally sit for a month in sub-freezing weather, until we need one to move the wood trailer. No problems.
The difference? They all spend at least 363 nights a year in the shed.
The main cause of water buildup in a tractor is leaving the tractor out in the weather. If you can shed your tractor at all, get it under a roof of any sort, it is advisable. Any sort of cover is better than nothing at all, and will eliminate a lot of those weather-induced problems. No shed? Buy a decent tarp (like a heavy silver or even canvas) and some bungees.
If I had to leave a tractor outside, I'd sell it. I couldn't stand it sitting there getting wet and knowing my luck it wouldn't start when I needed it to.
