Just noticed that my dad's b has what looks like louvers in front of radiator ( between radiator and front grill, but no way to operate them? What are they used for? My 53 CA doesn't have these, nor does my d-17??? |

| On your tractor there should be a hole in the top right side of the grill that originally had a crank handle to open and close the shutters. |

The earlier tractors did not have a thermostat, so they had manual shutters in front of the radiator, that you could open or close to control engine coolant temperature. There was a crank at the top right side (if you were sitting in the seat) of the radiator shell. Newer tractors had a thermostat that controlled temperature, so there was no need for shutters.

It was also a way of thinking back even in the late 30's regardless if they had thermostats or not. When Dad started any of out Olivers in 40's he put a feed bag over the front until they warmed up. They all had thermostats. Years later he didn't. |

My 51 CA has a thermostat and shutters. It also has a distributor on a mag flange mount that was put on by the dealer before Dad bought it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
