Guys, landlord just bought his first ractor to work on. Got a 41 B handstart. Someone has added a light bar and cobbled up some generator that hangs off the outside of the frame. This tractor has no battery, just the genny wired to a VR up under the starting tank and from there right to the lights. I know this mickey mouse thing is not factory but my question is, why does a hand start tractor have a fan shaft pulley to begin with? It is not a long hood model. Also has a tin box surrounding part of the manifold, what was this for? I have seen it on tractors before but never knew why. I would guess it is a heat trap that would keep the exhaust heat from going up and would help heat untake portion of manifold. Is this right?

Dad had a 41 B and I was not around but something failed and the replacement parts included a pulley for a generator. I remember him telling that was how Deere furnished the repair parts as if you did not need it it will still work and if you needed it it was there. That was in the late 60's. So his B and it is still around has a brand new never been used pulley on the fan shaft.

In 1941 you could get a b with or without electric start. Hence the pulley would have been factory equipment to run the generator. My 1940 B is set up the same way. Unless you are planning some night rides I would put it back to original.
