There is a good point, you will get much more water in the engine if the pipe into the manifold is not tight than if you leave the stack uncovered. If the stack is uncovered you have the area size of opening on top of stack to catch water. A leak at the pipe-manifold you can catch a surprisingly large amount of water on sheet metal over engine, that will run along sheet metal, make contact with pipe from wind, down pipe and into manifold. I had Farmall 300 one time stack covered, not a lot of rain, pipe into manifold leaking, engine was full of water to top of manifold. As I said in earlier post I have seen them sit over night in a 2" rainfall with nothing over stack and not even blow wet soot when started in morning.

My dad would never put a hot tractor in shed during busy season in summer. He always said if hot tractor catches fire that is a loss, no point in burning shed to. Four cylinder gas Farmalls and he never covered a stack.
