Peat: My experience with exhaust covers or caps, and this was a commercial farming operation. They work well on diesels. I've found they only last about a year or so on gas engines. I think the gas engine runs enough hotter the caps deteriorate very quickly. I could get 10 or better on a diesel. I now carry a small soup can for my little gassers, however I rarely leave them outside. Pre 1965 or there abouts, tractors should be stored inside anyhow. Most of the early tractors were not very water proof. As you get into the late 60s and 70s water didn't get into gear boxes, etc. nearly as bad.
