Sprout, the letter series and most all distillate burning tractors had to have shutters and a heat shield that fit around the manifold . You had to close the shutters till your heat guage showed in the high end of "RUN". The heat shield bolted around the manifold and kept the heat in so the fuel was vapour by the time it hit the cylinder.

My dad always said that when it came time to plow the old M pulled better on distillate than on gasoline, put a stream of black smoke into the air and "Pulled like a trooper"......Mike in Exeter Ontario
