1.4.10 Governor
A variable-speed governor limits fuel ow. The governor is preset by the
manufacturer.

The air cleaner is a dry element type and is located on the right front fender. It
prevents dirt and other foreign materials from entering the engine.
1.4.12 Exhaust System
The exhaust system consists of an exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, muer
and tail pipe. The exhaust manifold has large radius curves which permit
exhaust gasses to leave the cylinders with a minimum of back pressure and
power loss. All parts of the exhaust system are well supported with clamps
and hangers.
1.4.13 Electrical System
The tractor uses a conventional 12-volt electrical system to supply power for
the lights, horn, starter motor, ignition, and instruments. A standard battery
and alternator is used.

ground cable. The cables have protective boots at the battery end.

Electrical power is supplied by a belt-driven alternator mounted on the right
front of the engine. It produces three-phase alternating current and voltage,
rectied to DC by a full-wave rectier bridge using six diodes. The alternator
does not require a cutout relay.
1.4.16 Current Regulator
The current regulator is part of the alternator assembly. It determines output
current according to load, such as headlights, rear lights, etc.

The starter motor is a gear-reduction type mounted on the automatic
transmission housing at the rear of the engine. The starter motor is used to
turn the engine fast enough to start the engine.
