Farmall-h said: (quoted from post at 18:49:19 01/04/12) When I bought my H, it came with the very same set up only difference is the shutters were on it! After I freed the control rod up, it works like a gem! These were an attachment that could be special ordered and most commonly used on tractors that would plow snow in colder regions. It could be closed somewhat to keep warm air in and recirculating, and on a warm day, opened completely to allow regular air flow for engine cooling purposes.
If you do decide to free the rod up, make sure you apply anti-sneeze to the threads on the adjustment lever. You will never have a problem with it again!

Radiator shutters were for kerosene burning tractors started on gas, they were required to bring engine temperatures up to temps high enough to vaporize heavy kerosene fuel without stalling and were adjusted to keep the temperature in operating range. Nothing to do with plowing snow, just required for normal operation on kero.
