Methinks you need to park your tractor in the barn, garage, under the eve of your house, tarp, or somehow cover your tractor "IF" you can help it.
Any machine needs to be protected from the elements. Water in the cylinders is just the tip of the iceberg of annoyances that can occur. Your electrical system will corrode and short, your gauges will collect condensation and fail, belts will deteriorate, rust will eat the sheetmetal, etc.

Additionally if you are getting allot of water in through the exhaust even with the rain flap closed then your manifold is gunked up with corrosion.

There should be two to four drain holes at the base of the collector casting. This is where all four of the ports open up to one. Unscrew your exhaust stack and look down into the manifold, you'll probably see flaky rust. Get a chisel or needle gun and get all of that mess out and then drill out the 2-4 drain holes. Coat the inside of the manifold with dry molybendum and you'll kiss your rain problems goodbye. You still ought to store it out of the weather IF you can help it though.
