Lowell: It certainly was a good visit, one thing we both learned was, even though we grew up 2,000 miles apart, in small town rural North America nobody drank beer in the 1940s and 50s, at least not until beer cans started showing up in the landfills.
I always get a kick out of this,"water down the exhaust subject", every time it comes up. My dad and I never put a tractor in the shed when we were working them hard. Most of the time we never covered the exhaust, if they were going to be used again next morning. The only time I've ever seen any measurable amount of water get in the exhaust is if tractor was parked in lee of a higher object like a building, tree, etc. The other one was exhaust pipe loose in manifold of 300. Pipe was laying against hood and water running along hood followed pipe right down.
I always have a much bigger concern of water running down the gear shift lever into transmission. Those old tractors have numerous objects like seat, steering wheel, controls, etc. that create deflections around the platform of the pre 1963 tractors. I always have to put a bucket over gear shift lever of my SA and 140. I've seen one 2" rain fall add 2-3 quarts of water to my transmission.
