I have a 2004 Kubota l3000dt with 600 hrs. never flushed the cooling system which I am going to do now. What is involved in changing out the thermostat?
Thanks in advance

Should be easy new thermostat and gasket or gasket sealer (Permatex ) Don't over tighten the bolts you will break the housing .. Clean both sides good.

If you want take the bottom hose off also ,when the thermostat is out use garden hose to flush out the motor and radiator cold motor only see how much the system holds you never get all the water out ,So if it holds 6 quarts put in 3 quart anti freeze then top off with distilled water $1.00 at wally world.......

concentrated antifreeze you add the water to make it 50/50 not the premixed stuff its already 50/50......
