I picked up one of the above thermostats this AM. It is a New Holland part #(Bob posted the # above). I paid a little over $18.00 for it. The major diameter at one of the joints is just over 1.500" so it should fit in the upper hose comfortably. I quizzed the counterman about the HP/vintage of the tractor that uses it. He said 1940ish 25 HP!. That being said I hope the opening is not too restrictive. The last thing I want at this point is a motor that is going to overheat. One small concern is that it is a 160 degree opening. I was told there is no alternate. I have a 180 thermostat in the engine now and really have no desire to make it run cooler. Maybe I am thinking too hard???
