Description

When your Ford tractor isn’t warming up properly or you’re seeing coolant temperatures that just don’t seem right, chances are it’s time for a new thermostat. This 188-degree thermostat keeps your engine at the sweet spot where it runs efficiently, burns fuel cleanly, and stays protected from the wear that comes with running too hot or too cold.

What You’re Getting

Precise 188-degree opening temperature for optimal engine performance
Complete kit includes the gasket so you’re ready to install right out of the box
Built to handle the thermal cycling and vibration that comes with farm work
Direct replacement that fits just like the original Ford part
Quality construction that opens and closes reliably season after season

Built for Real Farm Work

This thermostat fits a wide range of Ford tractors from the classic 2000 series utility tractors through the heavy-duty 9000 series machines. Whether you’re running a 3000 on the hay fields, pulling implements with a 5000, or handling heavy work with an 8000 series, proper engine temperature is critical for getting the job done without breakdowns.

Made to Last

Farm thermostats take a beating from temperature swings, vibration, and the stop-and-go nature of field work. This one uses quality materials and proven design to open smoothly when your engine reaches operating temperature and seal tight when it’s cold. The included gasket ensures a proper seal that won’t leak coolant or let air into the system.

Good to Know

Installation takes about 30 minutes once you drain the coolant below the thermostat housing. Make sure the spring side faces toward the engine and the pellet faces the radiator—installing it backward will block coolant flow completely. Always use the new gasket and clean the housing surfaces thoroughly for a leak-free seal.
