Quick question for you guys... I replaced
the thermostat on the 7610 we have while i
had the coolant system drained to check and
set The pump timing because it seemed to be
running cold. The local ford mechanic had a
replacement in stock. It was a 168 degree
one which matched the one that came out
(both had 74 stamped on themail which I
assume means 74 degrees Celsius). Does this
tractor need a 190 or 203 degree thermostat
instead? I noticed the parts manual shows a
203 degree thermostat, but that is also for
an 87 and later. It doesn't show the
earlier tractors. Mine is an 86. Pulling a
20' batwing yesterday pretty much working
the snot out of the 7610, it never got much
above 160 degrees F.
