Yes, it was standard on distillate and kerosene burners and optional on others. Kero and distillate burners had to be started and pre-run on gas to warm engine up because these fuels could not be burned in cold engine. Then you switched over to the other fuel. Shutters were nescisary for faster warm ups and to maintain the engine heat. Most kerosene and distillate burners have just been run on straight gas for 30+ years. Most tractors that had shutters have somehow over the years had them taken off only leaving rimnets off control lever and so on. I think the shutters were bad about getting banged up and rusted up and so forth to where they wouldn't work. Rather than being fixed, they were taken off and discarded. They were visible on the unstyled because of lack of grill, but on the styled, the controll parts is really the only thing visible.
