I almost have the engine back together in my 1969 135 ci gas 1020 (in frame rebuild after sleeves were leaking). I had picked up a replacement thermostat that Stant listed in their catalog, pn 45358, 180 degree. This evening while cleaning up the housing getting ready to assemble things, I noticed the thermostat I removed was 160 degree. This is a low hour (1,500) un-molested tractor and it appears to me to never been apart so I am tinking this is the original factory installed unit??????? The one I removed from the tractor is a Robert Shaw Controls Company unit. Was this factory installed? What temp should I use?
Thanks, Tony
