Were B/C/CA tractors run without thermostats?

My CA usually runs at around 150 degrees if I'm lucky. This is in 95+ degree summer heat in SC running a two row cultivator for 8 to 12 hours per day with a lunch break.

Were some of the B/C/CA tractors operated without a thermostat? I can't imagine a 140 or 150 degree thermostat in a tractor, although I know there is a 160 degree thermostat available for some applications . Just wondering ..... never opened the CA's housing to look in it. I figured if it ain't broke don't fix it, just change the oil regularly ... :-)

most of the original thermostats have failed and are laying in there rusty and broke. some have ben thrown away altogether. my B ran about 120. i opened it and the thermos was junk. installed a 190. now it runs 130 in the winter with a light load. most of the old B and C dont get worked hard enough to get over 150. sounds like you work it a little more than most. you r thermostat is probably broke. change oil once a year is good idea.

The shutters in my old WD have long since disintegrated. I use it for moving snow in the winter (6' bucket) and I use a piece of cardboard covering 2/3 of the radiator to keep the temp up to the green when it's really cold. Engines run more efficiently when they're run up to temp. and it keeps the moisture evaporated from the oil in the crankcase. BTW, We're supposed to get 5" to 8" in my part of N Y state today. I thought it was the first day of spring, not winter! LOL
