Check the boot on the trans shifter so you don't get water in trans.  May be stay away from dist cap & coil.

Whenever I wash my WD I take the plug wires off and ball them up and put a plastic sack over the whole distributor-coil-governor assembly and put a rubber band around the bag behind the mounting flange for the diistributor drive housing. I also put a bag up over the carb as best I can and put a tin can on the exhaust if no rain cap. Might want to avoid direct spray on the dash and battery area as I had some corrosion issues in the ammeter gauge and some wiring. Just wipe clean those areas when you are done.

These tractors sit out in the rain and weather all the time. Just don't hold the gun or wand right over the parts for a long time such as the parts listed above and you will be alright.
