I guess they included a governor- and hopefully a water pump! The Model ''T'' had neither. If you used a ''T'' engine for stationary purposes it really put a load on that ''Thermosyphon'' cooling system: The hot water rose in the block, flowed to the radiator, cooled there, dropped to the bottom and was pulled back into the block by the hot water rising to flow to the radiator, over and over- no water pump (theoretically!) needed.
In practice, such a cooling system was stretched to it limits just pulling a light weight car around with large amounts of fresh air flowing through its radiator (there was a belt driven fan to help with that). Placing a stock ''T'' engine under a constant load in a stationary situation usually resulted in a overheated boil-over. Thats the reason why an aftermarket water pump on a Model ''T'' is probably the most common accessory you'll find on one still.
As for a governor, Ford was so cheap, he didnt even put them on his tractors! Again, like a ''T'' with a water pump, it is the most common accessory you'll find on a Fordson.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
