I don't think the engine really cares but your ears probably do. My grandpa's old C probably never knew what a muffler was. All it had from the time I can remember was the little stub sticking up out of the sheet metal, what there was of that. That tractor set outside for twenty years or more year round. Some times the stack was covered and sometimes not. It never failed to start and I can hear it running to this day dragging the lane and plowing snow. I remember watching them kick snow off of it to crank it and set on the seat. Loss of back pressure must not be too bad on them. Your ears are the important thing here. Any noise above 85 decibels can cause ear damage and 85 is not that loud. I have mufflers on all of mine except for the Super C and the 60. I only play with them though, no seriuous work. Look around at the next tractor pull you go to and see what is there. Bottom line is that it is really personal preference and safety. The muffler may capture the hot sparks under load and keep a field from catching fire too.
