When your tractor's running too cool, you're burning more fuel and diluting your oil with condensation from unburned diesel. When it runs too hot, you're looking at expensive engine damage. This 82-degree thermostat keeps your Massey Ferguson, Leyland, or Fiat in that sweet spot where everything runs right and lasts longer. What You're Getting Opens at 82°C (180°F) for optimal diesel engine performance Wax pellet mechanism provides reliable temperature response year after year Full-flow design minimizes restriction when open for maximum cooling Built to handle the constant thermal cycling of farm work Direct replacement that fits right in your thermostat housing Built for Real Farm Work This thermostat works in the workhorses that power farms worldwide - from compact Massey Ferguson utility tractors handling hay operations to bigger Fiat models pulling heavy implements. Whether you're plowing, cultivating, or running a PTO-driven baler, maintaining proper engine temperature keeps your operation running when you need it most. Made to Last Farm tractors see temperature swings from sub-zero winter starts to full-load summer operations. This thermostat's precision-calibrated wax element responds accurately to temperature changes, opening and closing thousands of times without losing its calibration. The construction resists the corrosion and debris that can foul cooling systems over years of service. Installation Notes Drain your coolant below the thermostat housing before starting. Note the orientation when removing the old one - the spring side faces the engine block. Clean the housing surfaces thoroughly, use a new gasket, and refill slowly to avoid air pockets. A simple test in hot water with a thermometer confirms it opens at the right temperature.
