Just re-read, your fenders sound pretty good. That's a good thing, though on that reproductions are available for something like $300 [maybe more like $500 after shipping].
Also, on the order of curiosity, governors were often updated, does the throttle rod go accross to the carb side [orginal] or into the governor [aftermarket] ?
If it does have the original manifold, does it have the water injectors and water bowl yet? You probably won't use them often if at all, but they do complete the manifold's look.
The reason I noted the starting tank as mute with aftermarket manifolds, a cold manifold wouldn't run low grade fuel, and wouldn't need water either. So if the water tank wasn't rusted, it occasionally became a spare tank, and either way the starting tank pretty much ignored or removed.
Also, whether in the field or the barn, you could have a clutch housing [and manifold, and who knows] full of mice making a clutch tear down a neccessity.
Speaking of governors, if anyone has figured out how to get a low idle [300RPM, rather than 400 or 500] without a dead zone or wandering idle RPMS from a Hiesler governor and an original carb, I'd like to know.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
