Josh, if it has any holes or other indication it had [or has] lights it probably had a generator at one time. ~Deere offered a lights [with generator & ammeter] option on the hand start D's. ~If it has a fan shaft pulley it also probably had a generator. ~If it had a generator it also had a battery box & battery. ~If it had a generator that ammeter was wired between the generator cut-out relay & battery. ~You can either remove all the electrics & run it as a hand start [no lights] tractor or find the proper generator & lights & rebuild it to factory electric specs. [let us know & we can talk you through the re-wiring]. ~On your water problem?...It is probably just rain water that entered the engine but you never know what lurks inside..Do an oil change & run it a while to see if the water problem goes away, if it doesn't, you might have an internal crack or head gasket problem. ~Those D's had a water valve on the side of the carb that was used to add water from the cooling system to combat detonation..MAKE SURE that valve isn't turned on, [or seeping] as that will add water to the crankcase. Or better yet plug it off..... [email protected]
