I guess they included a governor- and hopefully a water pump! The Model ''T'' had neither. If you used a ''T'' engine for stationary purposes it really put a load on that ''Thermosyphon'' cooling system: The hot water rose in the block, flowed to the radiator, cooled there, dropped to the bottom and was pulled back into the block by the hot water rising to flow to the radiator, over and over- no water pump (theoretically!) needed.
In practice, such a cooling system was stretched to it limits just pulling a light weight car around with large amounts of fresh air flowing through its radiator (there was a belt driven fan to help with that). Placing a stock ''T'' engine under a constant load in a stationary situation usually resulted in a overheated boil-over. Thats the reason why an aftermarket water pump on a Model ''T'' is probably the most common accessory you'll find on one still.
As for a governor, Ford was so cheap, he didnt even put them on his tractors! Again, like a ''T'' with a water pump, it is the most common accessory you'll find on a Fordson.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
