e-manhunt: If the M exhaust system is tight and if the tractor is out in the open with no high buildings or trees nearby, I wouldn't be too concerned if your going to be back in two weeks. Not much water goes down a tight exhaust in an open field. The tractor creates an updraft, and 95% of the rain goes right over the exhaust pipe.
In 1971 I had Farmalls 300 and a 560D parked in the middle of a 100 acre field during a 9" rainfall, with nothing over exhaust. They were on high ground but got surounded by water, thus I couldn't get to them for 4 days. When we fired them up they hardly blew black soot, next to no water in those engines.
Deflections caused by trees, high buildings, etc. creating a down draft over the tractor, could fill the engine with water. A loose exhaust pipe in manifold can fill an engine very quickly. Water runs along the hood and follows the exhaust pipe. You know the exact location and condition of your tractor, use your own judgement, and act accordingly.
