Andrew: When Sam gets home, (by the way he was here at my place in SW ON yesterday) why don't you find a tin can that snugly fits inside the exhaust pipe. Put some caulking around it down inside pipe, then put the mufler back on. Leave the tractor in the middle of an open field. Place a rain gauge about 30' from tractor.
Here's betting you'll have about 90% more water in the rain gauge than in the can in the exhaust pipe. WHY? 2 reasons. The tractor creates and updraft, thus very little of the actual rain fall goes down the stack. Secondly 50% of what does go down the stack, runs down inside of mufler and exits between exhaust pipe and mufler. That is not a water proof clamp.
Then after doing that, unscrew the exhaust pipe loose enough so it touches hood. Water will run along the hood, follow the pipe down and fill one cylinder plus the manifold in 20 min, of heavy rain.
Yes, I agree if the tractor is out there more than one day the exhaust should be covered and covered well. A can that fits tightly over pipe is the only sure way to keep water out. This is why I say one day is ok, after that rust starts.
