Many Farmall Hs and Ms that were distilate(Kerosene) models no longer have their control rod and shutters. The reason is that when the farmers switched to running all their machines on gasoline the hired hands would forget to open the shutters and over heat the engines. The shutters were removed as a preventine measure. In the early 70's we would buy one 55 gal drum of tractor fuel to rake hay with an H. TF was about 23 cents a gallon, gas was 28 cents a gallon and we were paying 13 cents for diesel. We only ran the H when we needed a third tractor. By that time TF was close enough to gas that you could start on it and not close the shutters. I seem to remember old timers talking about using the two petcocks on the side of the Farmall oil pans. It seemed that when running the old style tractor fuel that there would be a liquid build up in the the engine and they would drain the crankcase down to the lower petcock and then refill with fresh oil to the upper petcock.
